Beef Rolls

Submitted by WiGal

"Comfort food that is well worth the effort! These delicious rolls contain a filling made with bacon, mushrooms, and FRESH bread slices crumbled-- NO pickle so DH appreciates that. I use sandwich steak, round steak or sirloin and cut into 8 THIN pieces. Serve it with mashed potatoes. Sometimes sirloin is already cut thin which works great! Notice how it is in the oven for 2 hours so you can do something else. Set out your lemon to get it to room temperature. You will need string, cut about 5 inches in length to keep these together. I appreciate puppitypup for noticing that the onions needed explaining."

I can't believe how tender these came out. They were fun to make and the flavors were so good. Mr. Picky Eater didn't care for the dill too much, but that's why he earned his name. I on the other hand loved everything about these beef rolls. These are great to make if you want to impress! Thanks Wigal! Made for ZWT 6 by and Unruly.

This made for a very good dinner tonight. I omitted the mushrooms, per personal choice. The flavor was great and the cooking time was just right. A very nice quick recipe for a quiet night. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

Loved it! The flavor on these is outstanding and the presentation is fancy enough to be at a fancy restaurant. Wasn't sure what to do with the onions, so I added them to the broth and thickened the broth before baking with the leftover flour mixed with a little water. Thank you for a keeper WIGal! Made for ZWT, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.
