MaryLee's Healthy Food and Easy Cooking - Stuffed Beef Slices

Hello again,

Here is another idea for leftovers.

I am giving you these ideas for roasts dinners as these are the types of dinners where you usually have more left than say cooking just small meals such as chicken breast with a baked potato where you make just what is needed.

In this case it will be a roast beef dinner leftover and I will call this Stuffed Beef Slices

1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 tbsp (tablespoon) olive oil
3 cups leftover mashed potatoes
2 tbsp. milk
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
8 slices cooked roast beef (about 1/8" thick)
14 oz. can chopped tomatoes, undrained
8 oz. can tomato sauce
½ tsp (teaspoon) chopped basil leaves can use dried
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp honey can use sugar
1 cup cereal crushed, season with 1 tbsp of chopped basil, parsley, thyme or tarragon

Preheat oven to 350 F or 160 C.

In saucepan heat oil and cook onions and garlic until tender. Remove from heat and stir in potatoes, milk and parmesan cheese.

Put a small amount of potato mixture onto a slice of beef. Roll up to enclose the potato mixture. Do this for all your slices of beef.

In an oven proof baking dish cover the bottom with thin layer of tomato sauce. Place beef rolls in pan, seam side down. Mix tomatoes, remaining tomato sauce, basil, salt, pepper and honey and pour over filled rolls. Sprinkle top with seasoned crumbs and bake for 30 minutes until bubbly and browned.

Serve with green leafy salad or vegetables that are in season. How simple is that.

Use grated low fat cheese rather than crumbs for a variation.
