Tools
You’ll Need
- Large baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Non-stick skillet or frying pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
List
Here’s everything you need to create
8 delicious roll ups:
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 16 oz ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion,
thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper,
thinly sliced (any color you love)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
Step-by-Step
Instructions
1.
Preheat & Prep
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F
(175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper—this is
crucial so the cheese doesn’t stick!
2.
Cook the Filling
In a non-stick skillet over
medium-high heat, add the ground beef, sliced onions, and bell peppers.
Cook until the beef is browned and the veggies are soft (about 7–8 minutes).
Drain off any excess fat.
3.
Add the Creamy Flavor
Reduce heat to low, then stir in Worcestershire
sauce, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Keep
stirring until everything is melted and blended into a creamy, dreamy filling.
4.
Create the Cheese Wraps
On your parchment-lined baking
sheet, place 8 small mounds of shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 1/4
cup each). Flatten them into circles.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and lacy.
5.
Fill and Roll
Let the cheese circles cool for 1–2
minutes (just enough so they’re still flexible). Add a spoonful of your
beef mixture to each circle.
Then, gently roll them up like mini burritos. As they cool, they'll firm
up into the perfect wrap.
Tips
for Perfect Results Every Time
- Don’t overbake the cheese! Once the edges start to brown, they’re ready. Wait too
long, and they’ll get brittle.
- Use freshly shredded cheese – Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking
agents that prevent melting into a lacy texture.
- Want a touch of heat? Add a pinch of red pepper
flakes to the beef mixture.
- Let the wraps cool completely before stacking or
storing—they’ll hold their shape better.
Customization
Ideas
- Swap ground beef for shaved steak or ground
turkey if that’s what you’ve got on hand.
- Add sautéed mushrooms for an umami twist.
- Sprinkle in a bit of garlic powder or paprika
for added depth.
- Not a fan of Monterey Jack? Try cheddar or mozzarella—each
gives a slightly different vibe.
Storage
& Reheating Tips
Storage: Place leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator
for up to 4 days.
Freezing isn’t recommended—the cheese wrap can get rubbery.
Reheat: Pop them in the oven at 300°F for about 5–7 minutes
or warm them gently in a skillet. Avoid the microwave if possible—it softens
the cheese too much.
