SICILIAN MEAT ROLL 
2 beaten eggs
1/2 c. tomato juice
3/4 c. soft bread crumbs
2 tbsp. snipped parsley
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 lb. ground beef
4-6 oz. thinly sliced boiled ham
1 (6 oz.) pkg. sliced Mozzarella

In a bowl, combine eggs and tomato juice. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic. Add ground beef, mixing well.

On foil or wax paper, pat meat to a 10x8 inch rectangle. Arrange ham slices on top of meat, leaving a small butter around edges. Reserve 1 slice cheese. Tear up remaining cheese; sprinkle over ham. Starting from short end, carefully roll up meat; using foil to lift, seal edges and ends.

Place roll, seam side down, in a 9x13x2 inch baking pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 1/4 hours. Cut cheese slice and arrange on meat. Cook 2 minutes longer. 8 servings.
