1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

   While that warms up, lay a generous 24-inch sheet of parchment paper on your work surface, creating a perfect canvas for your delicious creation.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with dry bread crumbs, onion soup mix, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, egg, flour, and a sprinkle of black pepper.

4. Step 4

   Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it’s well blended and full of flavor.

5. Step 5

   Now, gently transfer this savory meat mixture onto the parchment paper and shape it into a rectangle, aiming for dimensions of about 10x16 inches.

6. Step 6

   Next, it’s time to add some layers of goodness! Place slices of deli ham over the meat, making sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges.
