Sicilian Meatloaf

I love a good meatloaf and while there are a ton of variations on this dish, once in a while I run across one that I just have to try.

Like this one.....Sicilian Meatloaf. Filled with ham and cheese and rolled jelly roll like, the minute you cut into it all this gooeye melted cheese pours out. So delicious.

I'm thinking of making it next time and trying different fillings, maybe crispy bacon, provolone cheese or spinach leaves. Oh yeah.

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
3/4 cup tomato juice
3 tbsp. fresh parsley
italian seasonings
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
slices of ham
slices of mozzarella cheese

Mix first 9 ingredients in a bowl.

On a sheet of aluminum foil form meat mixture into a 10×12? rectangle.

Line with ham and cheese. Roll and seal seam otherwise the cheese will just ooze out all over the place.

Place on baking sheet and bake 1 hour 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
