To make mushroom sauce:

To make beef wellingtons:
- Heat oven to 400 F.
- Cube steaks and place in bowl then cover and mix well with 1 cup mushroom sauce.
- Cut each puff pastry into six squares for 12 total. Use water to moisten each corner of squares and bring them together, forming small box shape. Place 1 heaping tablespoon meat mixture into each pastry square.
- Place squares on parchment paper-covered cookie sheets and bake 15 minutes.
- Spoon spreadable cheese over hot squares and top with bacon pieces.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and use leftover mushroom sauce as gravy.
