Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, finely chopped onion, beaten eggs, prepared mustard, plain bread crumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
-
Divide the meat mixture in half. Press one half into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan, creating a well in the center.
-
Arrange slices of ham and cheese in the center well. Cover with the remaining half of the meat mixture, sealing the edges well to enclose the filling.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the condensed tomato soup and any additional glaze ingredients if desired. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ðF (71ðC) and the top is golden brown.
-
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape and keeps the juices inside.
-
Slice into 8 even pieces, ensuring each slice contains the ham and cheese center. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
