This beef roll was scrumptious! We both gave it a thumbs up! Very simple to put together, too. When I make such dishes, I tend to make enough for 2 meals so I used 2# of lean, grass-fed ground beef. You could vary the meat and use some lamb or pork if desired. Of course, the flavor will change a bit with meat changes. This roll was in the oven in about 5 minutes flat and it cooked itself. I served with steamed cauliflower and green beans. This recipe is suitable for all phases of Atkins, Keto diets and Primal Blueprint plans.

VARIATION: Use other seasoning of your choosing. The sky is the limit. You can also make this a cheesier roll by increasing the cheese, but be sure to add in the nutritional numbers for additional cheese used.
INGREDIENTS:
5 oz (8 slices) sliced bacon
2 lb. lean ground beef (or meat of choice)
½ tsp. my Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning
4 oz. smoked Gouda cheese (I buy mine at Sam’s Club)
½ c. chopped parsley
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350º. With your hands or a fork, in a large mixing bowl, mix the meat with the Montreal Steak Seasoning (or whatever seasoning blend you prefer). If your seasoning contains no salt, you may wish to add a little. My stainless meat roasting pan is 16″ long, but you could probably use a 9″ x 13″ pan for this recipe. Tear off a piece of parchment paper as long as your baking pan and lay it on your counter. Lay the slices of bacon side-by-side, touching but not overlapping, on the parchment. Spread the seasoned beef mixture on top pressing it evenly over the bacon with your fingers (forming a rectangle layer of meat). Along the long edge, lay the Gouda cheese the entire length of the meat layer. Mine was in ¼” sticks, but slices can be cut or rolled instead. Sprinkle the parsley all over the rest of the meat layer. Picking up the parchment as a lifting/rolling tool, carefully roll the bacon/meat over like one forms a cake roll until it is one long, roll/log. You want to end with the seam down. Lift it over to your baking pan (using the parchment to help you), placing the seam down onto the baking pan (leave the parchment there for cooking). Pop into hot 350º oven for about 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 130-140º and the bacon is browning. Cut into 8 slices neatly between the bacon slices.
