Preparation

Step 1

Mix first 7 ingredients, then add to beef, combine.

On wax paper form meat mixture into a 10×12″ rectangle. Line with ham and cheese. Roll and seal seam. Cut in half. Seal ends and seam well, otherwise the cheese will just ooze out all over the place. Place seam side down in a 13x9 inch baking dish and bake 1 hour 15 minutes at 350 degrees. (Spread pizza sauce on top, along with a little more cheese - let melt.)

Freezing Directions:

Follow directions but do not bake. Instead, wrap the meatloaf in wax paper and then plastic wrap. Place in a freezer bag until ready to use. To serve: Thaw. Unwrap and place in a baking pan. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

I like to serve with Parmesan Baked mashed potatoes and zucchini/squash bake.
