Meat Loaf Roll

10 oz. frozen chopped broccoli
2 lbs. ground beef
2 eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup catsup
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. salt
3 oz. smoked sliced ham (1 pkg. Budding ham)
3 slices mozzarella cheese, cut in half diagonally

Rinse frozen broccoli under cold water to separate; drain. Mix together ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, catsup, milk, 1/2 tsp. salt, pepper and oregano. Pat the mixture into a rectangle, 12"x10", on a piece of aluminum foil.

Arrange broccoli on meat mixture to within 1/2" of edges. Sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt. Arrange ham on broccoli. Roll up rectangle carefully, beginning at short end.

Place on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cook uncovered, 350 degrees F. for 2 hours. About 5 minutes before meat is done, arrange cheese slices artistically along top of loaf. Return to oven until cheese melts.
