• 4 ounces cream cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender.
3. Step 3: Drain any excess grease, then stir in Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper, mixing until the filling is smooth and creamy.
4. Step 4: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, form 8 even circles using the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

7. Step 7: Allow the roll-ups to set and firm before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the filling mix.
• Try substituting provolone or mozzarella cheese for different textures and taste.
• If you prefer a spicier roll-up, include sliced jalapeños with the peppers.
• Make sure to let the cheese cool just enough to handle, so it doesn’t break when rolling.

Storage

Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or skillet to maintain their shape and flavor. Avoid overheating to prevent the cheese from becoming tough.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, Monterey Jack works well because it melts smoothly, but provolone, mozzarella, or cheddar can also be used depending on your preference.

How can I make this recipe dairy-free?

To make it dairy-free, substitute the cheeses with vegan cheese alternatives that melt well, and use a dairy-free cream cheese substitute. Keep in mind the texture and flavor may vary slightly.

Filling:

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

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cheese circles.
2. Cook Filling: In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the ground beef, sliced onion, and bell pepper until the beef is thoroughly browned and the vegetables have softened.
3. Mix Filling: Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper, mixing continuously until the filling becomes smooth and creamy.
4. Prepare Cheese Circles: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly distribute the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into eight circles, forming them carefully to maintain shape.
