Ingredients

1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup beef broth
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 teaspoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed

In a large bowl, combine the crumbs, broth, egg and seasonings; let stand for 2 minutes. Sprinkle beef over mixture and mix well.
On a piece of waxed paper, pat meat mixture into a 10-in. square. Combine hash browns, cheese, parsley and onion salt; spoon over meat.
Roll up, jelly-roll style, removing waxed paper as you roll. Pinch edges and ends to seal; place with seam side down in an ungreased shallow baking pan.
