Preparation
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, tomato juice and seasonings.
- In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add to the meat mixture; mix lightly. Turn mixture out onto a sheet of foil and flatten into an oblong shape, about 1-inch thick.
- Place ham slices on meat, keeping them about 1 inch from the edge. Sprinkle grated cheese over ham.
- Begin to fold the meat from one side to the other, rolling as you go. Pinch the ends to seal when the roll is complete. Turn loaf from foil into a greased 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes.
