2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup pizza sauce, divided
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1/2 pound sliced deli ham
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1 jar (6 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, 3/4 cup pizza sauce, bread crumbs, onion, green pepper, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture and mix well.
2
On a piece of parchment, pat beef mixture into a 12x10-in. rectangle. Layer the ham, 1-1/2 cups cheese and mushrooms over beef mixture to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side and peeling parchment away as you roll. Seal seam and ends.

Bake, uncovered, 1 hour. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160u00b0, 15-20 minutes. Using two large spatulas, carefully transfer meat loaf to a serving platter.

Securely wrap and freeze cooled meat loaf in plastic wrap and foil. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Unwrap meat loaf; reheat on a greased shallow baking pan in a preheated 350u00b0 oven until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165u00b0.
