Beefburgers Wellington

(DISCLAIMER: Seriously, this tastes better than it looks. My husband said that all my pictures made this dish look gross, but it's not. It looks yummy in real life, just not in photo's.)

This is a dish we have about once a month. It's yummy and it's pretty (see disclaimer at the top of the page). It also helps to portion control...even though the portions are large. I got this from a friend several years ago and it has become one of our favorites.
