Beef Pizzaiola

When I am in a rush for dinner, I usually run to our local grocery store Wegmans and pick up one of their goodies that I can just throw in the oven and whip up a side to go with it.  One day I grabbed their beef Pizzaiola.  They only give you two small pieces in a package which shrink down in size when you bake it, so I peaked at the ingredients on the label and decided to just buy all the ingredients and make it myself.  It was much better homemade, because I was able to make larger meat rolls and putt more of the veggies and cheese in the middle.  I even added a little red wine for a nice juice for the pizzaiola to cook in.  this rolled meat dish is simple to make and just absolutely melts in your mouth!
