Directions

this recipe

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the filling
   In a skillet, sauté sliced onions and peppers until soft. Add ground beef or steak and cook until browned. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cream cheese. Mix until creamy and combined. Set aside.
3. Make cheese shells
   On the prepared baking sheet, place small piles of shredded cheese (about 1/3 cup each). Flatten them into circles. Bake for 7–9 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is bubbling.
4. Assemble roll ups
   Let cheese cool for 30 seconds, just until flexible but not brittle. Spoon some meat mixture onto each cheese circle and carefully roll it up. Let cool slightly to firm up.
5. Serve
   Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of parmesan, and enjoy warm.
