Directions
Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).
Lightly oil a 9x5x3 inch pan.
In a large bowl, combine the meatloaf ingredients, adding more bread crumbs if necessary, a tablespoon at a time, to make a firm loaf.
Lightly spray a large piece of aluminum foil.
Place the meat mixture on the foil, and form into a 12x8 inch rectangle.
Arrange the ham on top of the meat, leaving a small margin around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the ham slices.
Starting from the short end, carefully roll the meat mixture jelly-roll style.
Seal the edges and ends.
Place the loaf seam side up in the prepared pan.
Sprinkle the top of the meatloaf with the flour.
Bake 1 hour or until done.
The center of the loaf will be pink because of the ham.
Top the loaf with slices of cheese, then return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
