I am from the Class of '65. Cafeteria food around around that time was essentially from home cooking recipes. There were some very good lunches! This one is just as I remember and when it was on the menu I would be sure to "buy" my lunch. Thanks for sharing this!

This was very easy and tasty! The only change I made was to sprinkle some cheddar cheese on the meat before I rolled it up. It's a good thing I checked this after 20 min. It was starting to get burnt. I caught it just in time. 40 min. we would have been having eggs for dinner. But no worry, I will be making this again. Thanks, Mandagirl!

Wow, these are good, and easy! I did add a dash of garlic powder to the cooked meat and veggies. I also used reduced fat Bisquick, but I think it would be even better with regular. Thank you for posting this recipe! It is a keeper!
