Bacon roll with minced meat filling
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can prepare the bacon roll in advance and chill it in the refrigerator, serving it when guests arrive. If you like a garlic flavor, rub the bacon with pressed garlic beforehand or add garlic to the filling half an hour before cooking the roll. You can also add grated onion. Serve hot.

Step 2
Rinse the fat in water and try to roll it into a log. Trim the excess edges so the roll is even. If the fat is hard to roll, slice off a bit from the top. Salt and pepper the fat, spread the minced meat over it, then season again with salt and pepper. If you like various spices and herbs, add them as well. Do not add whole black peppercorns or garlic cloves, otherwise they will end up in the minced meat.

Step 4
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake the roll for about 30 minutes. If the layer of fat is thicker, increase the cooking time to 40 minutes. Then remove the roll from the oven and let it cool without unwrapping or cutting the strings. If you slice the roll while it's still warm, it will unravel and the layers won't hold together.
