Hamburger Potato Roll

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Heat the drippings, add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is transparent. Remove to mixing bowl and add the ground beef. Add the egg.

3. 3

   Soften the bread in water, press out the excess water and add bread to the meat. Add the salt, oregano and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

4. 4

   Sprinkle a piece of waxed paper with crumbs. Press the meat on the crumbs to make a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

5. 5

   Beat the mashed potatoes with the parsley and spread on top of the meat. (If leftover potato is used, reheat before spreading).

6. 6

   Using the waxed paper as an aid, roll the meat and potatoes, jelly-roll fashion, and place in a loaf pan or on a shallow baking pan. Grease the pan if the meat is very lean. Place the bacon on top if using or brush with additional drippings; baste at least once during baking.

7. 7

   Bake about one hour and serve with a brown sauce made from the pan drippings, or with mushroom, tomato or other sauce.
