In the past, whenever I heard of Beef Wellington I got this image of a very sophisticated, elegant, and difficult dish; you know like one that might be served at a stuffy dinner party. Now, in all fairness I have never actually made Beef Wellington so it probably isn’t that difficult. If I ever try it, I will definitely let you know how it turns out.
This Ground Beef Wellington is an “everyday” version of the original. My boys were skeptical, but really enjoyed it.
This isn’t a pretty picture, but you can see that the recipe makes two Beef Wellingtons. One of my boys does not like mushrooms so I made one with mushrooms and one without. I served it with roasted sweet potatoes and a side salad.
Buon Appetito!
