Meatloaf (Microwave)
Description
A rolled meatloaf stuffed with layers of ham and mozzarella — seasoned ground beef flattened on waxed paper, layered with ham slices and cheese, then rolled up and sealed before being cooked quickly in the microwave and finished with Ragu Italian sauce and melted cheese on top. Bold, satisfying, and done in under 15 minutes.

Place 3 slices of mozzarella over the ham slices.

Place a row of the remaining ground meat over the cheese.
-
Carefully roll up the meatloaf using the wax paper to lift. Seal the edges and ends well.

-
Cook on HIGH for 6 more minutes.

Note
Keep the waxed paper margins at 1 inch — overfilling the edges makes the roll difficult to seal and the filling will escape.
