Prep & Cook Time
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients
-
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
-
1 lb (16 oz) ground beef
-
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
-
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (red, green, or yellow)
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
4 oz cream cheese
Equipment
-
Large skillet
-
Baking sheet
-
Parchment paper
-
Spatula
-
Knife and cutting board
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Break it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain off excess fat.
3. Add vegetables: Add sliced onion and bell pepper to the beef. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened.
4. Creamy goodness: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese. Cook until the mixture is creamy and everything is combined. Remove from heat.
5. Bake the cheese base: Spread shredded Monterey Jack cheese into a 10x13 inch rectangle on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 5–8 minutes, or until melted and bubbly.
6. Cool & roll: Let cheese cool for 1–2 minutes until just firm but still pliable. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the cheese.
7. Roll it up: Starting from the long side, carefully roll up the cheese and filling into a log. Use the parchment to help roll tightly.
8. Slice & serve: Slice into 1–2 inch thick rolls. Serve immediately while warm and gooey!
Tips & Variations
-
Don’t overbake the cheese! You want it flexible, not crispy.

Try pepper jack for added spice or provolone for a more traditional Philly taste.
-
Make ahead? Store uncut roll in the fridge, slice and reheat as needed.
-
Add mushrooms or hot peppers for even more depth and flavor.
Storage
-
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
-
Reheat: Warm in a skillet or air fryer for 2–3 minutes until hot and crispy again.
-
Freezer: Wrap roll tightly before slicing and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw and reheat when ready to serve.
