September 11, 2012 - Sicilian Meat Roll

Today's dinner takes longer than most of the previous posts. It takes over an hour to bake since it is a thicker meat roll. It is relatively easy to make, it just takes a long time to bake. ( ha, that rhymed) Anyways, It turned out pretty good! After eating one serving, we realized that ketchup would help with the dryness. It was much better with a little ketchup so we recommend it for you! We had a few grapes and half a kiwi along with come carrots and Lemon pepper for the sides! Another success! 

INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup tomato juice
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (6 ounce) package thinly sliced ham
1 (6 ounce) package sliced mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bow l, combine eggs and tomato juice. Stir in the bread crumbs, parsley,
oregano, salt, pepper, garlic and ground beef. Mix thoroughly. Preheat oven to 350
degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. On a piece of foil or w axed paper, pat and shape meat into a 10x8 inch rectangle.
Arrange ham slices on top of meat, leaving a small margin around edges. Tear up the
cheese slices, reserving 1 slice w hole, and sprinkle over the ham.
3. Starting from the short end, carefully roll up meat, using the foil or w axed paper to lift.
