Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs ground lean beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup tomato juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Combine beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, tomato juice, salt, oregano, and pepper in a large bowl.

Sauté the onions in a little vegetable oil until golden brown.

Add to meat mixture and mix well. Spread out mixture on sheet of foil and flatten into an oblong pan in a layer about 1" thick.

Place ham slices on top, keeping about 1" of space from the edge. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Starting at the smaller end, use the foil to fold meat over ham and cheese, closing any openings. Turn into greased 8" x 5" x 3" pan. Pat with fingers. Bake 60–75 minutes.
