Sicilian Meat Roll

  • 2 beaten eggs
  • ¾ cup bread crumbs (1 slice)
  • ½ cup tomato juice
  • 2 tbsp. parsley
  • ½ tsp. oregano
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 1 small clove garlic (minced)
  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 8 thin slices boiled ham
  • 6 oz. (1 ½ cup) shredded mozzarella cheese, halved diagonally

Combine eggs, crumbs, juice, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic. Stir in ground beef and mix well. On waxed paper pat meat to a 12”x10” rectangle. Arrange ham slices atop meat, leaving a small margin around edges. Sprinkle shredded cheese over ham. Starting at short end, carefully roll up meat using paper to lift. Seal edges and ends. Place roll upside down in 13”x9”x2” pan. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Place cheese wedges over top of roll, return to oven for 5 minutes. Serves 8.
