Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, finely chopped onion, prepared mustard, lightly beaten eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, minced garlic, dried oregano, and fresh parsley. Mix gently until just combined.
-
Divide the meat mixture in half and flatten each portion into a rectangle on a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper.
-
Layer slices of ham and cheese in the center of one meat rectangle, leaving a border around the edges.
-
Place the second meat rectangle on top of the filling and press the edges together firmly to seal, removing any air pockets.
-
Transfer the stuffed loaf to a baking sheet or loaf pan. Smooth the top with your hands.
-
In a small bowl, mix the tomato soup, chopped green bell pepper, and additional mustard for the glaze.
-
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
-
Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ðF (71ðC).
-
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and the center to set.
