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
Find fresh ground beef and deli-sliced ham and mozzarella at local Monrovia markets or butchers; onion soup mix is available in the dry goods aisle of most grocery stores.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion soup mix until you achieve a consistent, uniform texture.
- Spread a sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface and flatten the meat mixture over it, shaping it into a rectangle of even thickness.
- Layer the slices of ham and mozzarella over the meat, being careful to leave a small margin around the edges.
- Carefully use the aluminum foil to help you roll the meat tightly into a log shape.
- Seal the ends of the roll securely to prevent the cheese from leaking out during the baking process.
- Transfer the roll to a baking dish, or keep it on the foil, placing it directly onto a baking tray.
- Place in a preheated oven and bake until the meat is thoroughly cooked through and golden brown.
