MOCK FILET MIGNON

This recipe is from an old family friend. It is from the early 50s.

8 to 10 slices bacon
2 lbs ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup American cheese (grated)
2 tbsp catsup
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Place bacon on a board with strips side by side. Combine the remaining ingredients together and mix well. Roll meat mixture into a 10-inch roll. Draw the bacon strips around the meat and hold in place with toothpicks. Slice into 1-inch rounds so that bacon surrounds each slice. Broil on each side until browned and done to your taste.
