Southern Beef Roll

This is our Mom's Southern Beef Roll recipe. It serves 5-6 people, so I would recommend doubling it and making 2 Rolls, especially if you would like left overs. This is one of those recipes that you need the chopped green pepper for the great flavor. Usually I am one that will leave out the peppers, but it just won't taste the same without it. I completley blend the peppers so that my kids cannot even tell they are in there.

1 lb. cooked ground beef
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 tsp. minced onion
2 Tbsp. Chopped green Pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cups Flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3 Tbsp. Shortening
1/2 cup milk

Step 1. Brown ground beef with onion, green pepper, salt and pepper and then add the cream of mushroom soup to the mixture. Step 2. In a mixing bowl; stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening. Add milk and stir until mixture holds together. Knead for 1/2 minute, then roll dough into a rectangle about 1/3 inch thick. Spread beef mixture on dough and roll up like a jelly roll. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake uncovered @ 425 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve with cheese sauce (recipe is below). My oven cooks fast and cooked after about 18 minutes. Cook until lightly brown and until you can see that the dough is cooked through.

Cheese sauce:

2 Tbsp. melted butter or margarine
2 Tbsp. flour
1 cup milk
1 cup grated cheese

In a sauce pan; melt butter, blend the flour in the butter and then, add milk and grated cheese, cook until thick. Season with salt and pepper.

Ingredients: ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, onion, green pepper, shortening, milk, grated cheese.
