moral of story.....put foil on cookie sheet:doh: all my cutting and chopping etc. down the garbage disposal:cry:

Bummer Mary Ann.

I hate when that happens. :doh: :annoyed:

:hyst: OMG, I would like to thank you for my first laugh out loud for the day! That is too cute! But I bet it tastes good! I just finished dinner and it was...yup...meatloaf!

Oh, Mary Ann! What a hoot! :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: That's the kind of thing that explains why my dogs always circle around me like a couple of hungry sharks whenever I'm out in the kitchen trying to cook! :hyst: :hyst: :hyst:

Kevin, this reminded me of one I made awhile back. Here is my version (this one has breadcrumbs in the list of ingredients). You can either omit them or substitute something else for them. Please excuse the high carb sides on the plate because when I made this I was not following LC at the time:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Linny's Notes: This turned out pretty good. I used deli ham and an Italian cheese blend. I also used tomato sauce mixed with water in place of the tomato juice and used the rest of the can to top the meat roll with.


Sicilian Meat Roll

2 slightly beaten eggs
3/4 cup soft breadcrumbs
1/2 cup tomato juice (or 1/4 c. tomato sauce and 1/4 c. water mixed)
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
2 lbs lean ground beef
6 thin slices fully cooked deli ham or prosciutto
1 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine eggs, bread crumbs, tomato juice, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic. Stir in ground beef, mixing well.

On foil, pat meat mixture into a 12x10 inch rectangle. Arrange ham slices on top of meat, leaving a 3/4 inch border around all edges. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups cheese over ham. Starting from a short end, carefully roll up meat, using foil to lift and guide; seal edges and ends. Place roll, seam side down, in a 13x9x2 pan sprayed with Pam.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until it reaches 170 degrees and juices run clear. (Center of meat roll will be pink because of the ham.) Sprinkle remaining cheese over top of roll; return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand 10-15 minutes before slicing.

About 8 servings

Kevin is in the kitchen.


All is right with the world. :kicking:

Wow Linny, that looks wonderful!

bump! What else can we roll? Spinach, red bell pepper, and feta sound good.

Thank you!!

Just ignore the corn and mashed potatoes......or imagine the taters as pureed cauliflower :laugh:

That does sound really good!!!!

Its beautiful, Kevin... I will give it a try. Thank u

Kevin..I am going to make this in a couple of weeks...thanks!! I am going to use the Frozen Broccoli and Cauliflower in it to make it instead of the mixed Vegetables to make it even more LC...


HUGS!

That's a great idea! Especially if you seasoned the meat to taste like Gyros! Hmmmmmn....

BTW, anybody seen Mary Ann lately? Seems like a long time since she has posted here.

Just have to say, I love, love LOVE that baby picture, Kevin.:love::love::love:

She posted on 11/3 but that was it.

That is an insane-looking meal. OMG. I can't wait to try that. Thank you so much for sharing. :)

All prepped and rolled.... It looks awesome can't wait for supper!

Post a picture after you make it, if you can!!!

Wow Kevin, we loved this so much I made it 2 times this week! I have never used black olives in anything and I was hesitant. But DH said lets just try it. I am glad we did. I didn't use the LC bread cause we don't have any. The second time I made it I left out the milk. It is a delicate thing, it cracked open a couple of times so I squished it back together and put it in the oven. It came out fantastic. Thank you for another winner.

LOL, here is another picture.....I made the Sicilian Meat Roll again for dinner last night
