Ingredients

6 slices beef round
3 tbsp yellow mustard
6 slices bacon
1 white onion
6 dill pickles
1 tbsp butter
2 cups reduced sodium beef broth
1/4 cup dill pickle juice
1 can (8 oz) mushrooms (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp cornstarch (optional)
prepared mashed potatoes (optional)

Steps

Spread mustard over each beef slice, then add bacon, onion, and a pickle before rolling and securing each piece.
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat and brown the rolls on all sides for 10 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth and pickle juice, cover the Dutch oven, and simmer gently for 85 minutes.
Remove the rolls and simmer the liquid uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring in cornstarch mixed with water if a thicker sauce is desired.
Return the rolls to the sauce and cook for 10 minutes, until the beef reaches 145 F and the bacon is cooked through.
