Ingredients

  • 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen, chopped broccoli
  • 2 lb. hamburger
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 c. soft bread crumbs
  • 1/4 c. catsup
  • 1/4 c. milk
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. oregano leaves
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 pkg. Italian sausage, cooked (don't burn skin) and cut into slices
  • Mozzarella cheese slices, each 3 x 3-inches, cut diagonally into halves (optional)

Method

  • Rinse frozen broccoli to separate.
  • Drain.
  • Mix hamburger, eggs, bread crumbs, catsup, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and oregano.
  • Pat hamburger mixture into rectangle, 12 x 10-inches, on piece of aluminum foil, 18 x 15-inches.
  • Arrange broccoli on hamburger mixture to within 1/2-inch of edges.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Arrange sausage on broccoli. Roll up rectangle carefully, beginning at 10-inch side and using foil to lift. Press edges and ends of roll to seal.
  • Place on rack in shallow roasting pan. Cook, uncovered, in a 350° oven for 1 1/4 hours. Overlap cheese on top.
  • Cook just until cheese begins to melt (about 1 minute longer).
