Stuffed Beef Rolls

 For a change of pace, try these stuffed beef rollups. I made them to use up some stuffing and gravy I had left but the recipe gives directions for a stuffing to use with them. I did feel that the amount of stuffing it made would not be enough so if I was going to use theirs I would make a little more. If you don’t want to do either of these things try using one of the many brands of Stove Top type of stuffing.

 Either way they made a nice meal. Use more gravy if you want and serve them with mashed potatoes or rice. I went with baked to keep it all to a oven meal. The carrots were left from a beef roast we had had earlier in the week so this helped clean out my refrigerator, always a plus. This is a easy recipe to cut, I made one apiece for us, ¾ lbs of ground beef. This recipe is for the full amount.

Remove top piece of waxed paper and top with about 2 tablespoons of stuffing and spread to within ½ of edges. Using waxed paper as a guide roll up from short end jelly roll fashion.
