Ingredients

  • 1 12 lbs lean hamburger (I always ground my own from lean roast and trim all visible fat)
  • 6 slices thinly sliced ham
  • 12 cup breadcrumbs
  • 6 -8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (or sliced, swiss can also be used)
  • 2 eggs, beaten (egg substitute works great also)
  • 1 small bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method

  • preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • mix all ingredients except ham and cheese.
  • spread mixture on sheet of waxed paper.
  • flatten meat to make a square.
  • place ham on meat then cheese (do not place all the way to sides; leave some clearance).
  • roll mixture, jellyroll style, ensuring that ends are sealed well.
  • place into baking pan, seamside down.
  • bake 1 hour or until brown/done.
  • this may be covered with any type of sauce that you would ordinarily use with meatloaf.
