Bacon Cheeseburger Roll Ups

I have still been cooking this last week, but not posting much since we have been rather consumed with what's going on in Haiti...I am going to try to catch up today...

I am going to attempt a new thing to teach my kids about meal planning, cooking, and serving (oh and clean up hee hee). I let Sam pick a recipe from the Jan/Feb 2009 Simple & Delicious, he made a list of the things we needed to make it, and then we made it together...I did the cutting and the frying pan stuff and he did most of the rest. So here is Sam's new recipe. He said he picked it because he loves bacon (he gets that from me since Steve doesn't like it--but he does eat it for the sake of unity in the home ha ha).

Bacon Cheeseburger Roll Ups
1 lb ground beef
6 bacon strips, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pkg (8 oz) velveeta, cubed
1 tube (16.3 oz) large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mustard

In a large skillet, cook the beef, bacon, and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add cheese; cook and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Flatten each biscuit into a 5-inch circle; spoon 1/3 cup beef mixture onto each biscuit. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up. Place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Bake @ 400 for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown (ours only took 16 so watch them closely near the end). In a small bowl, combine ketchup and mustard and serve with roll ups. 8 servings.

So Sam really liked these. Nathan and Emma ate them too so that was good. They actually weren't bad, even though nothing healthy about them. Sam wants to save this one so I guess we will.
