• 5 top the swiss cheese layer with the slices of prosciutto. (overlapping if needed.).
• 6 starting from short end, roll up the meat. (lifting the foil at first helps to get it started.).
• 7 roll all the way up and seal, pinching and smoothing the seam closed nicely.
• 8 seal each end closed nicely, too, so that you have a nice log.
• 9 place carefully into a shallow, sprayed, baking dish/pan. (mine fit really well in my 7x11 baking dish.).
• 10 reform a bit if needed. (*just make sure it didn't stretch out, and press with palms at each end pushing back in towards the middle.).
• 11 sprinkle top/outside with additional pepper. as much or little as you like.
• 12 bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
• 13 baste the whole outside with the 1 tbl. ketchup.
• 14 bake 5 minutes longer.
• 15 while it's still baking, cut the remaining 3 slices of swiss cheese in half corner to corner.
• 16 when those 5 minutes are up, top the meatloaf with the cheese triangles, overlapping, all across the top nicely.
• 17 bake 10 minutes longer.
• 18 (your total baking time is 1 hour.).
• 19 remove from oven and let rest at least 5-10 minutes before slicing.
• 20 enjoy! (made great sandwiches the next day, too!).
• 21 **had a ton of trouble getting an ingredient to finally go through! it is to be 1 (1.8 oz.) packet knorr cream of spinach recipe mix that i used. not "soup mix". zaar glitch i guess. but you'll see on the packet. ;).
