Meat Loaf Cordon Bleu

Flavorful
Description

I'm a school counselor and a mother of one young child. Even with my busy schedule, I can make this in the morning and pop it into the oven when I get home.

Ingredients
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 envelope meat loaf seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 cups soft bread crumbs
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 8 thin slices fully cooked ham
  • 8 thin slices swiss cheese
  • 1 can (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, mix together egg, meat loaf seasoning, tomato sauce and bread crumbs. Add ground beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. On a piece of waxed paper, pat meat mixture into an 18x9-in. rectangle. Top with layers of ham, cheese and mushrooms. Roll rectangle, jelly-roll style, starting from short side. Pinch edges to seal. Place seam side down in a shallow baking pan. Bake until no longer pink, about 1-1/4 hours. Let stand several minutes before slicing.
