- 6 large potatoes sliced
- 6 ham slices cut in half lengthwise
- 6 cheese slices cut in half lengthwise
- 3 cups tomato sauce
- 24 mozzarella pearls
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese
- 14 oz ground beef
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 slice of white bread
- 1 egg
- salt & pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 350°F and start by making the meatballs. Add the ground beef, garlic, Italian seasoning, white bread, egg, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl and mix all the ingredients until they're combined. Use your hands to form 12 meatballs that are about the size of a ping pong ball and fry them in a hot skillet. Set the meatballs aside for later.
Cut the potatoes lengthwise into thin slices, put the slices into salted water, and boil briefly so they're pliable.
Lay out 3 potato slices next to each other, making sure they overlap. Put half a slice of ham and half a slice of cheese on the potatoes. Form the ingredients into a roll. Repeat this process until you have 12 rolls.
Place the 12 rolls upright in a casserole dish and pour tomato sauce into each of the 12 'holes.' Press one meatball into the tomato sauce in each hole. Put 2 mozzarella pearls per roll on top. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, slide the casserole dish in the oven, and cook for 30 minutes.
