🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what makes this recipe shine:
-
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
-
16 ounces ground beef
-
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
-
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
4 ounces cream cheese
-
Salt & black pepper, to taste
🧀 Monterey Jack melts beautifully and crisps up for the perfect cheesy wrap. Feel free to swap in mozzarella or provolone for variety!
🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper—this will make removing the cheese wraps much easier.
2. Cook the Filling
In a large skillet over medium-high heat:
-
Add the ground beef, sliced onion, and sliced bell pepper.
-
Sauté for about 6–8 minutes, or until the beef is fully browned and the vegetables are soft.
-
Drain any excess grease.
Next, stir in:
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
4 oz cream cheese
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Continue stirring until the cream cheese is completely melted and everything is creamy and well-combined.
💡 Pro Tip: Add garlic powder or red chili flakes for an extra kick!
3. Create the Cheese Wraps
-
Place the shredded Monterey Jack cheese in 8 even mounds (about ¼ cup each) on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Flatten each mound into a circle, leaving space between them.
-
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbling with a lacy texture.
4. Assemble the Roll Ups
-
Let the cheese circles cool for 1–2 minutes—they should still be warm and pliable.
-
Add a spoonful of the beef filling to the center of each.
-
Gently roll the cheese around the filling, forming a wrap.
-
Let them cool slightly so the cheese firms up and holds its shape.
