Sicilian Meat Roll

I have to admit that I have not made this recipe myself yet but I thoroughly enjoyed it at a dinner party recently.  So much so that I am putting it on my web.  Take a chance, you'll love it!

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 pounds ground beef (very lean)
• 1/2 cup tomato juice
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 slices cooked ham
• 8 slices mozzarella cheese

Steps

• Mix all ingredients together except ham and cheese
• On a 16" long piece of waxed paper, pat mixture out to a 10" by 16" rectangle
• Arrange the ham and cheese on the flat mixture, then roll it all up like a jelly roll, using the waxed paper to help roll it
• Seal the seam and ends well
• Place in greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour

Serves 6 to 8

Serving Suggestion

When I had this Sicilian Meat Roll, our hosts served it with a wonderful Garlic Potato dish.  Follow this link for that recipe as well.
