Rouladen

3 Bacon strips, chopped
1-1/2 pounds beef top round steak
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 medium carrots, quartered lengthwise
6 dill pickle spears
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 small parsnip, peeled and chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed golden cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/3 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving drippings.

Meanwhile, cut steak into 6 serving-size pieces; pound with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread tops with mustard. Top each with two carrot pieces and one pickle spear; sprinkle with onion. Roll up from a short side and secure with toothpicks.

In a large skillet, brown roll-ups in bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Place roll-ups in a 4-qt. slow cooker. Top with mushrooms, parsnip, celery and cooked bacon. In a small bowl, whisk the soup, wine and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until beef is tender. Sprinkle with parsley. Makes 6 servings.
