1/2 lb. Mozzarella cheese, not sliced
2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 c. seasoned bread crumbs
1 c. tomato juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. oregano
Few grains pepper
2 sm. onions, minced or onion salt
8 paper thin slices boiled ham

Grate cheese; set aside. Combine beef, eggs, bread crumbs, tomato juice, salt, oregano, and pepper. Saute onions in a little vegetable oil until golden brown; add to meat mixture. Mix well. Turn out onto a sheet of aluminum foil. Flatten into oblong about 1 inch thick. Place ham slices on oblong, keeping them 1 inch from edge. Sprinkle grated cheese on ham. Use the foil to fold meat mixture over ham and cheese, closing all openings.

Turn loaf from foil into a greased loaf pan, 8 x 5 x 3 inch. Pat with fingers to fill corners of pan and shape loaf, which will completely fill pan and be rounded slightly on top. Bake at 325 degrees for 60 to 75 minutes, depending on degree of rareness desired.
