STUFFED GROUND BEEF ROLLS 
1 lb. extra lean ground beef or turkey
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. fine bread crumbs
1/2 c. water
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese with chives
Flour to coat rolls
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 c. beef broth
1/2 c. sour cream

In a bowl, blend ground beef, egg, salt, pepper, bread crumbs and water (will feel moist). Cut a strip of waxed paper 20 inches long and moisten top side. Form a 4-inch wide strips of meat mixture the length of the waxed paper.

Cut cream cheese into 8 sticks. Place them along the length of the ground beef, end to end. Roll up. Pick up the waxed paper to help to lift the meat over the filling; you'll form a lengthwise roll. Cut into 8 pieces crosswise.

Dust each piece with flour on all sides. Heat the butter in frying pan. Brown rolls on all sides; cover and cook 10-15 minutes. Remove onto warm plate. Stir flour into pan drippings. Slowly add broth, whisking to keep smooth. Cook until thickened. Stir in sour cream. Pour sauce over rolls.
