bob's pigs in blankets
This is an old holiday favorite of my best friend's family. They make it every year. His family calls them pigs, but I think it is some variation of beef rouladen anyway, it's certainly delicious! I throw them in the slow cooker for about 5 hours instead of cooking them on the stove top for 3.

How To Make bob's pigs in blankets
-
Step 1Partially freeze round steak. Trim off fat
-
Step 2Cut up meat into 3/4" to 1" strips about 3 inches long. Pound strips to 1/8" thickness.
-
Step 3Lay out strips on table, springle lightly with pepper and onion salt. Cut bacon in half legnthwise and then about 2 to 3 inches long. Lay a piece of bacon on each strip of round steak. Roll each strip up, end to end fairly tightly and push toothpick through to secure.
-
Step 4Brown pigs in grease over medium high heat. (I use bacon grease)
-
Step 5Dice onion and cook in pot until slightly glassy and add sifted flour. Add water stirring slowly to start gravy.
-
Step 6Then put pigs back in pot. Add water to cover pigs and simmer 2 to 3 hours. Add flour or cornstarch to thicken gravy and kitchen bouquet to darken.
