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
You can find high-quality ground beef and deli-sliced ham and mozzarella at local butcher shops or at the meat and deli counters of major supermarkets like Hi-Lo or Progressive Foods. The onion soup mix is easily available in the pantry aisle of any local grocery store.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and the onion soup mix until you achieve a uniform, well-mixed consistency.
- Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface and spread the meat mixture over it, shaping it into a rectangle of your preferred thickness.
- Arrange the slices of ham and mozzarella over the meat, leaving a narrow margin around the edges.
- Carefully use the aluminum foil to assist you as you roll the meat tightly into a log shape.
- Seal the ends of the roll securely to ensure the cheese stays inside while the meat bakes.
- Transfer the roll to a baking tray, or if you prefer, place it directly on the foil inside the roasting pan.
- Place in a preheated oven and bake until the meat is thoroughly cooked through and nicely browned on the outside.
