When I had young children, I made a fascinating discovery. They would eat any meat that I could roll into a ball and place on their plates. My kids weren't big meat eaters, but for some reason, this transformation of a flat piece of meat to a circle made all the difference in the world. Adults love them as well. This recipe is a simple meal to prepare and rather economical, too. It is meant to be served over rice, mashed potaties, or noodles.
