How to Make Beef Rolls Cordon Bleu

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 egg, and 1 tsp salt.
  2. Gently shape the mixture into 8 thin patties (about 1/2 inch thick).
  3. Place 1 slice of ham (approx. 2 inches square) and 1 slice of cheese (approx. 2 inches square) in the center of each patty.
  4. Fold the patty over the filling, ensuring the cheese and ham are completely enclosed. Seal the edges firmly.
  5. In a shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs.
  6. In another shallow dish, place 1 cup breadcrumbs.
  7. Dip each beef roll in the egg mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Arrange the beef rolls in a greased casserole dish.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  10. While the rolls bake, prepare the gravy: In a saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 2 cups milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup.
  11. For freezer preparation (optional): Once the rolls are cooked, let them cool completely. Place them in a freezer-safe zip-top bag and freeze until needed.
  12. To bake from frozen: Remove the rolls from the freezer and let them defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Pour the gravy over the rolls, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60 minutes or until heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  13. To bake from frozen without prior defrosting: Remove the rolls from the freezer and place them directly into the oven. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60 minutes then top with gravy and bake for another 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
