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

  1. Prepare Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Cook the Beef Mixture: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef to the hot skillet and begin breaking it apart with a spatula. Once beef begins to brown, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until the beef is fully browned and vegetables have softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease from the pan to prevent soggy roll-ups.
  3. Season and Add Cheese: Return the skillet to medium heat. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture and stir to combine. Add cream cheese to the skillet and stir continuously until completely melted and well incorporated. Remove the skillet from heat, and set aside.
  4. Create Cheese Circles: On your parchment-lined baking sheet, create 8 evenly spaced circles using the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, about 1/4 cup per circle. Leave at least 2 inches between each circle as the cheese will spread during baking. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese develops a lace-like texture.
  5. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Remove cheese circles from the oven and let cool for about 1 minute until pliable but not too hot. Quickly place approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each cheese circle. Carefully roll or fold the cheese around the filling to form a roll-up shape. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes for the shape to set as the cheese hardens.

Notes

  • Ensure the cheese circles have enough space on the baking sheet to spread without merging.
  • Drain excess grease to keep the roll-ups from becoming soggy.
  • Work quickly when assembling the roll-ups while cheese is still flexible but not hot to avoid breaking.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispness and flavor.
  • Can be customized by adding mushrooms or substituting beef with ground turkey for variation.
