Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Circles
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese
Beef Mixture
- 16 ounces ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate cleanup.
- Cook the Beef Mixture: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. When beef starts browning, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until beef is fully browned and vegetables have softened, about 5-7 minutes, then drain excess grease to avoid sogginess.
- Season and Add Cheese: Return skillet to medium heat. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Add cream cheese and stir continuously until melted and incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Create Cheese Circles: On the prepared baking sheet, place 8 evenly spaced 1/4 cup mounds of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Leave at least 2 inches between circles. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden brown and cheese forms a lacy texture.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Remove cheese circles and cool about 1 minute until pliable but not hot. Quickly place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each circle. Carefully roll or fold the cheese around the filling to form roll-ups. Let cool 2-3 minutes to harden the shape before serving.
Notes
- Watch cheese circles carefully during baking to avoid overcrisping which makes rolling difficult.
- Drain excess beef fat thoroughly to prevent greasy roll-ups.
- Work quickly while cheese is pliable for easier rolling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
- Reheat refrigerated rolls in microwave or skillet; reheat frozen rolls in oven to retain crispness.
- For dairy-free options, use suitable melting dairy-free cheeses and substitute Worcestershire sauce with coconut aminos.
