Ingredients
For the Cheese Shells
-
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (¼ cup per shell)
Tip: Shred it yourself for perfect melting!
For the Filling
-
1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
-
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
-
1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Cheese Shell Magic
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Drop ¼ cup cheese into 8 piles. Flatten slightly.
-
Leave 3 inches of space between piles—cheese spreads!
-
Bake 5–6 minutes until bubbly and golden at the edges.
-
Let cool 30 seconds (not more!) before filling.
2. Filling Time
-
In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat.
-
Let it sear—don’t stir too much! Drain excess fat.
-
Add onions and peppers, sauté 4–5 min until soft and lightly charred.
-
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and cream cheese. Mix until creamy and combined.
3. Roll & Rest
-
Spoon 2–3 tbsp of filling onto one side of each cheese shell.
-
Use a spatula to gently fold over and seal the roll.
-
Let rest 5 minutes before serving—this helps the cheese firm up.
Notes
Q: My cheese shells fused into one giant blob!
A: You likely overcrowded the tray. Always leave at least 3 inches between piles.
Q: Can I use sliced deli roast beef instead?
A: Totally! Chop and warm it with the veggies—though ground beef holds flavor better.
Q: Filling’s leaking—what gives?
A: Drain meat well, don’t overfill, and let cheese shells rest before rolling.
