Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Shell
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Filling
- 16 ounces ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cheese shells.
- Sauté Vegetables and Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef along with the sliced onion and bell pepper until the meat is fully browned and the vegetables are softened. Drain any excess grease to keep the filling from becoming too oily.
- Add Seasonings and Cream Cheese: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the beef mixture.
- Prepare Cheese Circles: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into 8 evenly sized circles. These will form the crispy cheese shells.
- Bake Cheese Shells: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cheese circles for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese develops a lace-like texture.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Allow the cheese shells to cool for a couple of minutes until they are pliable. Spoon a generous layer of the beef and vegetable filling onto each cheese circle.
- Roll and Set: Carefully roll the cheese around the filling to form wrap-style roll ups. Let them cool and harden slightly, which helps them maintain their shape before serving.
Notes
- The cheese shells must be cool enough to handle but still flexible to roll without breaking.
- You can substitute the bell pepper with green or red for different flavors and colors.
- Drain off excess grease after cooking the beef to prevent soggy roll ups.
- Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to enjoy.
- This recipe is naturally low carb and great for ketogenic diets.
