BACON BEEF ROLLS

BACON BEEF ROLLS
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup low carb ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup onion, chopped fine
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds ground beef
12 strips bacon

Combine everything except the bacon in a large bowl. Mix well then shape in two 6-inch long log shapes. On a large sheet of wax paper, lay 6 slices of the bacon side by side. Set one of the beef rolls crosswise at one end of the row of bacon strips; roll up, wrapping the meat with the bacon. Very carefully place the first roll in a 9x13" baking pan, lined with heavy foil, with the ends of the bacon under the meat roll. I recommend lifting it with a wide spatula so that it does't break. Repeat with the remaining bacon and meat roll. Bake at 375?45-50 minutes or until the center of each roll reaches 160? If the bacon doesn't look browned enough on top, put the beef rolls under the broiler for a minute or two.

I got this recipe from Taste of Home magazine. No tweaking was necessary to make it low carb except to use low carb ketchup instead of regular. My husband really liked this and even my meatloaf-hating son ate two pieces. Click the photo to see a close-up.
