Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- 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 the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cheese shells.
- Cook the filling: In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the ground beef along with the sliced onion and bell pepper until the vegetables are soft and the meat is fully cooked and browned. Drain excess grease.
- Combine ingredients: Add Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, salt, and pepper to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cream cheese has melted and everything is well incorporated.
- Form cheese shells: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into 8 even circles. Bake them in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the cheese forms a lace-like texture.
- Assemble roll ups: Let the cheese circles cool slightly until pliable. Add a layer of the meat and vegetable filling onto each cheese circle, then gently roll them up to encase the filling. Allow the roll ups to cool and harden before serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal of cheese shells from the baking sheet.
- Work quickly when rolling the cheese shells while they are warm and pliable for best results.
- Customize the filling by adding mushrooms or substituting the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken if preferred.
- Consume shortly after assembly for optimal taste and texture; leftovers can be stored refrigerated and reheated gently.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low carb, fitting well within a ketogenic diet.
