Meat Loaf Roll

1 package (10 ounces) frozen leaf spinach or chopped broccoli
2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
¾ cup soft bread crumbs (about 1 slice bread)
¼ cup catsup
¼ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (3 ounces) smoked sliced ham
3 slices mozzarella cheese, each 3×3 inches, cut diagonally into halves (optional)

Rinse frozen spinach under cold water to separate; drain. Mix ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, catsup, milk, ½ teaspoon salt, the pepper and oregano. Pat beef mixture into rectangle, 12×10 inches, on piece of aluminum foil, 18×15 inches.

Arrange spinach on beef mixture to within ½ inch of edges; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Arrange ham on spinach. Roll up rectangle carefully, beginning at 10-inch side and using foil to lift. Press edges and ends of roll to seal. Cover and refrigerate no longer than 24 hours.

About 1¾ hours before serving, place meat loaf roll seam side down on rack in shallow roasting pan. Cook uncovered in 350° oven 1½ hours. Overlap cheese on top; cook just until cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute longer. (Center of meat loaf roll may be slightly pink due to ham.) 8 servings.

To serve immediately, do not refrigerate; cook uncovered in 350° oven 1¼ hours. Continue as directed.
