2 pounds lean ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage
1 1/2 cups cracker crumbs
2 eggs -- beaten
1 medium yellow onion -- chopped
1 bell pepper -- seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe
Mix all meat loaf ingredients together, reserving 1/4
cup pizza sauce. On a large sheet of plastic wrap, pat
meat into a 10 x 13-inch rectangle. Arrange ham on top
of meat mixture leaving a small margin. Spread
mushrooms over ham and cheese over mushrooms. (Save a
small amount of cheese aside.) Starting at narrow end
roll meat up jelly role fashion using plastic wrap to
lift. When rolled tightly pinch seams closed. Place
seam side down in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Brush with
reserved pizza sauce. Bake 1 1/4 hours in a preheated
375 degree (F) oven. About 10 minutes before done
sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Makes 10 - 12 servings.
