Ingredients
1 kg ground beef
1 packet onion soup mix
100 g sliced ham
100 g sliced mozzarella cheese
1 packet onion soup mix
100 g sliced ham
100 g sliced mozzarella cheese
Where to find ingredients
For the ground beef, visit your local butcher or the meat counter at your preferred supermarket. Onion soup mix is commonly found in the dry goods or soup aisle of most local grocery shops. The ham and mozzarella cheese can be picked up in the deli or chilled section of any well-stocked market. If you are specifically looking for a Brazilian-style seasoning profile, browse the international foods section for South American imports, though standard onion soup mix is the ideal, accessible staple for this recipe.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion soup mix until you have a uniform meat mixture
- Lay out a sheet of aluminium foil and spread the meat mixture over it, shaping it into a rectangle with your desired thickness
- Arrange the slices of ham and mozzarella over the meat, leaving a small border around the edges
- Carefully roll up the meat using the aluminium foil as a guide
- Seal the ends of the roll tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking
- Transfer the meat roll to a baking tray, or if you prefer, bake it directly on the foil inside a roasting tin
- Place in a preheated oven and bake until the meat is thoroughly cooked and nicely browned
