This was an interesting recipe! It was a bit labor intensive, but I liked the end product. Unlike others here, I did not enjoy the bacon. Maybe if the bacon had been cooked until tender first, I would have liked it. It came out unappetizingly pale pink and fatty (and I looked for the least fatty package). I would look forward to trying paper thin shaved ham. Also, my patties were hard to fit around the mozzarella and the bacon. I had to cut the bacon strips in thirds. I should have halved the mozzarella but did not think of it until later. I needed every bit of the ground beef to patch gaps in the beef rolls before cooking them. I would easily use 2 lbs of ground beef next time to make it easier to form these beef rolls. The gravy was fantastic, and it was my favorite part. It tasted great over a medley of broccoli and cauliflower! I would recommend draining off all fat before adding in the gravy. The next day, I had to chip the layer of fat to get to the gravy underneath. Bleah! This is something I will try again, but as I said, I will use ham, cut the mozzarella in half and stack both to help fit them inside the roll. I will also stretch the recipe to 2 lbs of ground beef. This might also keep the cheese from leaking out, which some of ours did (and others noted here). I will also look forward to topping more veggies with that yummy gravy. One more thing. My 6 year old tasted this and begged me to make it for him every night for the rest of his life! Now that is a compliment!

OMG Pamela! These were DELICIOUS! 5 star,plus, plus, plus!!!! We so enjoyed these! I prepared exactly as written, using bacon as opposed to ham, as it was in the fridge,(my ham was frozen!) and I think it was a very good choice, I will probably use it every time! I made sure to cover the bacon & cheese carefully but quite a bit of my cheese still melted out, didn't matter though as it still can be spooned over top of them with the sauce. I actually ended up serving with white rice instead of noodles and the sauce was great with/over it! My sister her hubby and son came by just after we ate and they hadn't eaten yet so I reluctantly had to part with my leftovers...LOL!! They LOVED them too, raves all around, and my sister happily took home the recipe!!!! We both thought they were ,as you say, a great alternative to chicken cordon bleu (and a little cheaper too!!) We will both be making this one again & again! Thanks so much!:)

Very good! I had my parents over and we all enjoyed this, my picky 3 y/o as well. I also have a picky DH and father, so I cooked their meat in another dish without the gravy and just cooked regular brown gravy in a second saucepan, just for them. I love meatloaf and this is similar in taste to mine, but with some extra goodies stuffed into it. I served this with #71112 Baked Potato Stuffing; also served green beans and rolls. Thanks for posting!
