Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 390 °F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion soup mix, egg, breadcrumbs, and Dijon mustard. Season with black pepper and mix until fully combined.
- 2
Lay a large sheet of aluminium foil flat on a clean surface. Place the meat mixture on it and press it into a rectangle about 30 × 20 cm (12 × 8 in) with even thickness.
- 3
Layer the ham slices evenly over the meat, then top with the cheese slices. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
- 4
Using the foil as a guide, carefully roll the meat into a tight, compact log. Seal the foil around it, folding in the ends.
- 5
Place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, still fully wrapped in foil.
- 6
Open the foil and bake for a further 8–10 minutes until the outside is golden brown.
- 7
Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad.
💡 Chef's Tip
Leftover slices make excellent sandwiches the next day. For a smoky twist, use smoked ham and swap Swiss cheese for provolone.
