Meat roll with cheese
Description
My mom got the idea for this delicious and simple dish many years ago from one of the cooking magazines. Since the ingredients for this rolled meat dish were the most accessible for an ordinary Soviet person, who wasn't spoiled with exotic herbs, spices, fresh greens, and vegetables, she made a note of it. Moreover, aside from its impressive appearance, the minced meat and cheese roll has another important advantage—it's easier and quicker to prepare than traditional meat patties. You don't have to stand by the stove flipping batches of patties in a pan; you shape the roll just once and put it in the oven. Then it bakes on its own, giving you the chance to relax or attend to other tasks. That's exactly why I suggest you take a look at this recipe for minced meat and cheese roll.
