Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 16 ounces ground beef
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese Circles and Filling

  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  2. Cook the Beef Mixture: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. When it starts to brown, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook together until beef is fully browned and vegetables have softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease to keep roll-ups from becoming soggy.
  3. Season and Add Cheese: Return skillet to medium heat. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to season. Add cream cheese and stir continuously until melted and fully incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Create Cheese Circles: On the prepared baking sheet, place 8 circles of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, about 1/4 cup each, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden brown and cheese has a lace-like texture.
  5. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Remove cheese circles and let cool for 1 minute until pliable but not hot. Quickly add roughly 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture on each circle, then carefully roll or fold the cheese around the filling into roll-ups. Allow 2-3 minutes to cool and set the shape as cheese hardens.

Notes

  • For tanginess, add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the beef mixture.
  • Include 1/2 tsp garlic powder for deeper flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for brightness.
  • Use dairy-free cheese alternatives to make the recipe dairy-free; note texture and taste will vary.
  • Drain excess grease from beef to avoid soggy rolls.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure consistent filling portions.
  • Let cheese circles cool 30-60 seconds before rolling to avoid tearing or cracking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat refrigerated rolls in microwave for 30-45 seconds or skillet over medium heat; reheat frozen rolls in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes after thawing.
