Company Chicken

My mom has been making this for years.  I'm guessing that it came off a soup can or some such.  While it takes a good amount of time to cook (3 hours), it's super easy to assemble and pop in the oven.  It's not a fancy-schmancy recipe but it has stood the test of time.  Perfect served with a green vegetable and a bit of bread or rice to soak up the extra sauce.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pkg. dried beef                                            

6 boneless chicken breasts                 

6 strips of bacon

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup                   

8 oz cream cheese

oven 300º

INSTRUCTIONS:

Lightly grease casserole dish.  Lay down 2 pieces of beef per breast.  Roll chicken from small side; wrap each with 1 slice bacon (secure w/ toothpicks if needed).  Place each chicken roll on top of the slices of beef.  Mix cream cheese & soup together.  Pour over chicken.  Bake covered for 3 hours.

**Note: it may be a good idea to precook the bacon a bit - still pliable but partially cooked.  Also, I will be trying this in a slow cooker.
