Makes two loaves. This recipe has been an absolute family favorite for many, many years! I would three times the recipe and make 6 loaves, then store in the freezer until needed. It was always great for a Sunday dinner and all-day beach trips. I would put a frozen loaf in the oven with some oiled potatoes, turn the oven onto Timed Bake, for the required time frame, and voila! It would be ready to eat when we got home! It was always a great hit...a great crowd pleaser when cooking for company and large groups of people.
Combine and beat until smooth:
2 eggs
¼ cup tomato sauce
¼ cup sour cream
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
1 tsp. salt
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. onion powder
Add and mix well:
2 slices fresh bread, crumbled
2 lbs. lean ground beef
Directions:
Directions:
On a large piece (Cookie sheet-size, which may need to be seamed together) of aluminum foil press the ground beef mixture into a 10X15 rectangle.
Arrange on ground beef rectangle: first the ham, then the cheese atop the ham
8 slices thinly sliced ham
8 slices thinly Swiss cheese slices/grated
On a piece of foil (on a 10x15" cookie tray) press ground beef mixture into a 10x15" rectangle. Place the ham on the ground beef, then place the Swiss cheese atop the ham. Roll lengthwise, jelly-roll style, sealing seam and ends. Place the loaf on your forearm and swing it around on the foil so that the foil can be rolled up tightly and sealed (drugstore style.) Fold up the ends several times to seal well. Label the foil roll with permanent marker and place on cookie sheet to freeze. Bake at 350* for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until done. Foil should be opened last half hour of baking to brown the top. The cheese will ooze a little bit from the loaf, and when this happens, it’s a signal that the meatloaf is done or is approaching being done. When the cheese starts to burn, be very alert!
