MEAT LOAF ROLL 
1 pkg. (10 oz.) chopped broccoli or frozen leaf spinach
2 lb. hamburger
2 eggs
3/4 c. soft bread crumbs
1/4 c. ketchup
1/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. (3 oz.) sliced ham
3 slices mozzarella cheese, each 3 x 3 inches, nut diagonally into halves
(optional)

Rinse frozen broccoli under running cold water to separate; drain. Mix hamburger, eggs, bread crumbs, ketchup, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pepper and oregano. Pat hamburger mixture into rectangle, 12 x 10 inches, on piece of aluminum foil, 18 x 15 inches. Arrange broccoli on hamburger mixture to within 1/2 inch of edges; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Arrange ham on broccoli. Roll up rectangle carefully, beginning at 10-inch side and using foil to lift. Press edges and ends of roll to seal. Place on rack in shallow roasting pan.

Cook, uncovered, in 350 degree oven for 1 1/4 hours. Overlap cheese on top; cook just until cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute longer. (Center of meat loaf may be slightly pink due to ham.) 8 servings.
