Bob's Pigs in Blankets image

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.

Time 3h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb round steak
1 lb bacon
ground black pepper to taste
onion salt to taste
3 Tbsp kitchen bouquet
1 medium onion, sliced
1/4 c flour
2 c water
reserved pan drippings
round tooth picks

Steps:

  • 1. Partially freeze round steak. Trim off fat
  • 2. Cut up meat into 3/4" to 1" strips about 3 inches long. Pound strips to 1/8" thickness.
  • 3. Lay 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.

  • 5. Dice onion and cook in pot until slightly glassy and add sifted flour. Add water stirring slowly to start gravy.
  • 6. Then 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.
