Bacon Cheeseburger Roll Up

This is what we had on Friday...it's the last one I was planning to make from the Kraft Food & Family Spring 2007 mag. I really liked the sound of this one, unfortunately it was a let down. At least for me........

Bacon Cheeseburger Roll-Up
1 lb lean ground beef
4 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onions (about 1 small)
8 oz velveeta, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 pkg (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust

Preheat oven to 400. Cook ground beef, bacon, and onion in lg skillet on medium-high heat until ground beef is evenly browned. Drain; return meat mixture to skillet. Add Velveeta, cook until completely melted, stirring frequently (this took a very very long time. Probably because my cubes were more like 2 inch cubes). Remove from heat; set aside. Unroll pizza dough onto baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Press into 15x8 inch rectangle (like I measured it. I totally eye-balled it). Top evenly with meat mixture. Roll up dough, starting at one of the long sides. Rearrange if necessary so that seam side is down on the baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown (mine only took like 17). Cut diagonally into 6 slices to serve.

I'm not sure what I didn't like about this. I am a huge fan of bacon, so it can't be that. Unless it was the dough I didn't like. There have been other Pillsbury dough products that I'm not crazy about, such as their rolls & biscuits. Actually the only things I do like of theirs are the cinnamon rolls & pie crusts. So maybe that was it. Anyway just something about it. Emma ate 3 bites, not bad. Sam ate all of his, and I gave him a lot without meaning to, not realizing how big the servings would be once they were cut up. Predictably, Steve lapped his up. He doesn't even like bacon. But he does like me.

Next week I am starting a cookbook Jessica gave me a while ago, at her baby shower. It has lots in it and I am looking forward to starting. I will be there a while, I think. I may mix in some of the Fall mag recipes that I just got from Food & Fam, since the Jessica cookbook doesn't have any desserts that I want to try. Anyway that's my story for now. Talk to you guys soon!!
