Ingredients
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded, fresh preferred
- 16 ounces ground beef 80/20 blend recommended
- ½ medium onion sliced
- 1 bell pepper sliced, any color
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook beef mixture:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break apart with a wooden spoon. Brown for 2-3 minutes.
- Add vegetables:
- Stir in sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until beef is fully browned and vegetables soften (5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease.
- Season and add cream cheese:
- Return skillet to medium heat. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Add cream cheese and stir until fully melted and creamy (~2 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Create cheese circles:
- On the parchment-lined baking sheet, place 8 circles of shredded Monterey Jack (about ¼ cup each), spaced 2 inches apart. Flatten to ~4-inch diameter.
- Bake cheese circles:
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden and lace-like.
- Assemble rolls:
- Remove cheese circles and cool exactly 1 minute until pliable. Quickly place ~2 tablespoons of beef mixture slightly off-center on each circle.
- Roll up:
- Carefully roll cheese around filling to form rolls. Let cool 2-3 minutes to set.
Notes
For best results, prep vegetables and measure ingredients ahead of time. Beef mixture can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Use parchment paper to prevent cheese from sticking. Allow cheese circles to cool just enough to be flexible—not too hot or cold. Store leftovers in airtight containers up to 4 days; freeze up to 3 months. Reheat refrigerated rolls in skillet or microwave; thaw frozen rolls overnight and reheat in oven for best texture. Customize with different cheeses, proteins, or veggies to suit preferences. For a bread-like alternative, try fathead dough recipe variation. Ideal serving: 2-3 rolls per person for a main meal; 1 roll for appetizers.
