  1. Just excellent. I did change a few things. Loved the lemon pepper but will admit I used more than the stated 3/4 tsp I believe. I left out the breadcrumbs because I forgot them and used fresh spinach that I sauted in about 2 tsp of the bacon grease and added the thyme and lemon pepper to it. Excellent. I broiled it and did slightly overcook it (according to DH) and the round steak was just a little on the tough side. But all in all we really enjoyed this with the combination of flavors. Thanks AZPARZYCH for a keeper. Made for PRMR Tag Game :)
