Ingredients
Cheese
- 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 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for melting the cheese bases for the roll ups.
- Sauté Filling: In a skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop, sauté the ground beef along with the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables soften and the meat is fully browned. Drain any excess grease to keep the filling from becoming too oily.
- Add Seasonings and Cream Cheese: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, salt, and pepper into the meat and vegetable mixture. Continue stirring until the cream cheese melts completely and the filling is well combined.
- Melt Cheese Circles: On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into 8 even circles. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese edges brown and develop a delicate lacelike, crispy texture.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Let the cheese circles cool for a couple of minutes. While still pliable, spoon an even layer of the meat filling onto each cheese circle. Carefully roll the cheese around the filling to form roll ups.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the roll ups to cool completely so the cheese hardens into a stable wrap before serving. Enjoy as a tasty keto-friendly appetizer or snack.
