Ham and Cheese Stuffed Meat Roll

For the glaze (optional but delicious!):

  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Meat Base:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

3. Shape & Fill:

  • Place a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on your counter. Flatten the meat mixture into a rectangle, about ½ inch thick.
  • Layer the ham slices evenly over the meat, followed by the cheese slices.

4. Roll it Up:

  • Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the meat into a tight log, sealing the edges to keep the filling inside.
  • Transfer the meat roll onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.

5. Add the Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, mix ketchup, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar. Brush this mixture over the meat roll for extra flavor and a caramelized finish.

6. Bake to Perfection:

  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F or 70°C).
  • Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

7. Serve & Enjoy:

  • Slice into thick pieces and serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
