ITALIAN STUFFED BEEF ROLLS
The combination of spinach, artichokes and cream cheese is always a crowd pleaser. Add basil and a roasted red pepper sauce, and you have perfection on a fork! To save time, the stuffed beef filling can be made ahead and chilled. You can also make the sauce ahead and reheat it when you are ready to serve. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

This is a great tasting meatloaf that adds that important iron to your diet.

- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh spinach, ground beef, and Mediterranean spices.
- Season Well: Don't be afraid to season your dish with salt and pepper. This will help bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
- Cook the Meat Thoroughly: Make sure the ground beef is cooked all the way through before you add it to the spinach mixture. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
- Use a Good Quality Cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as feta or parmesan.
