Where to find ingredients
You can find minced beef and sliced deli meats in the chilled meat section of any major supermarket. Onion soup mix is typically available in the dry goods aisle alongside gravy granules or stock cubes.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef and the onion soup mix until the mixture is uniform and well-incorporated.
- Lay out a sheet of kitchen foil and spread the beef mixture over it, shaping it into a rectangle of even thickness.
- Arrange the slices of ham and mozzarella over the surface of the meat, ensuring you leave a small margin clear around the edges.
- Using the foil as a guide, carefully roll the meat up into a log shape.
- Seal the ends and seams tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out while cooking.
- Transfer the roll to a roasting tray, or place it directly on the foil inside the tray if preferred.
- Place into a preheated oven and bake until the meat is thoroughly cooked through and golden brown on the exterior.
