POOR MAN'S FILET MIGNON

Poor Man's Filet Mignon image

I made this for dinner last night, to just try it out. It doesn't really taste like filet mignon, but it is delicious! Try it and I bet you'll give it 5 stars! I used 3/4 cup cracker crumbs instead of bread crumbs. The recipe is from Taste of Home--I think.
