Ingredients
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 16 ounces ground beef
- ½ medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the cheese “wraps”
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into four equal portions. Spread each portion into a round or rectangular shape (about 5–6 inches wide) on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden brown edges.
Remove from the oven and let the cheese cool slightly it should still be flexible enough to roll, but not too hot to handle.
Step 2: Cook the filling
While the cheese cools, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5–6 minutes.
Drain any excess grease, then add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables soften and caramelize, about 3–4 more minutes.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and mix until well combined. Reduce the heat to low, then add the cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts and coats the beef and vegetables in a creamy sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the roll ups
Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each melted cheese “wrap.” Carefully roll the cheese around the filling to form a wrap or log shape.
If your cheese rounds have cooled too much and become firm, pop them back in the oven for 30 seconds to soften before rolling.
Step 4: Serve
Place the finished roll ups seam-side down on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of extra cheese if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cheesy perfection!
Expert Tips for Success
-
Don’t overbake the cheese: If the cheese cooks too long, it will become brittle and won’t roll easily.
-
Use parchment paper: Cheese sticks easily to regular baking sheets parchment keeps cleanup simple.
-
Choose the right cheese: Monterey Jack melts beautifully, but mozzarella and provolone are great alternatives.
-
Keep the filling creamy: The cream cheese helps everything bind and adds extra richness don’t skip it!
-
Meal prep tip: Make the beef and veggie filling ahead of time, then assemble fresh for quick lunches or dinners.

-
Provolone version: Use provolone or mozzarella instead of Monterey Jack for a more authentic Philly flavor.
-
