Poor mans dish.... Cheese filled meat roll2lbs lean ground beef4 eggs1/2 cup bread crumbs (seasoned)1/8 cup corn meal1/8 cup low moisture mozz. cheese (shredded)1/8 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)Plenty of Parmesan cheese2 TBS mustard2 cans beef gravy (I make my own)1 cup fresh mushrooms (chopped)Mix ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, corn meal, mustard and your favorite seasonings in a bowl until well mixed. Lay out on floured table, flatten to a 18"x 12" rectangle. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, then spread rest off cheeses over meat, leaving one inch clearance on the edges. Start at one corner , and carefully roll towards the opposing corner.(similar to a jelly roll). Once rolled, seal up all gaps so cheese will not escape during cooking process. Put roll in 10x12 baking dish. Pour gravy and mushrooms over roll. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes covered, basting every 15 min. Then turn oven to 400 deg. Uncover dish, and cook for approx. 30 more min. basting one or two more times. Top of meat should crisp and caramelize a bit. Let dish sit ateast 15-20 minutes on the counter before cutting and serving to allow cheese inside to set up. Enjoy

Continue reducing until proper consistancy.Meanwhile pasta should be cooking at same time until semi-firm or el-dante.In a small skillet heat up Olive oil and saute shrimp on med. high heat with salt and pepper just enough to brown the skins. Once browned add to the sauce and mix well.Strain the pasta, plate the pasta first, add shrimp/alfredo sauce....I like to top with a bit more romano and fresh ground pepper.
