Birds

This was made by my Grandmother, Elizabeth Orr Hay Blossom.  She came from Scotland and Ireland so maybe this is something she had as a child.

(This is what we have always called it. I have no idea where the name came from...You'll have to use your imagination on that! But, they taste great!)

BIRDS

1lb. round steak                                          
About 6 slices of bacon
6 potatoes peeled and cut into bite-size pieces                                      
6 carrots peeled and cut into bite-size pieces


Cut steak into 1” x 3” pieces.  Cut bacon in half (2 short pieces).  Lay bacon on top of round steak pieces.  Roll up and stick a toothpick in to hold closed.  Brown in a Dutch oven. After browning, pour 2 cups of water over.  Add vegetables and cover and cook for one hour until tender.  You could put them a crock pot and cook all day.

Karen put this recipe in the Longview, WA Hospice cook book and told how much her Dad like this.
