01 - 1 lb lean ground beef
02 - 2 oz pepperoni slices

→ Dairy

03 - 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine ground beef, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
03 - Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion on parchment paper into a rectangle approximately 5x3 inches.
04 - Place pepperoni slices and shredded mozzarella in the center of each rectangle.
05 - Roll each rectangle around the filling, carefully sealing edges to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
06 - Place roll ups seam side down on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top of each roll.
07 - Bake for 15 minutes until beef is fully cooked and cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The cream cheese in the beef mixture keeps everything incredibly moist, so you never get that dry, crumbly texture that sometimes happens with baked ground beef recipes
  • They reheat beautifully for meal prep, tasting just as good on day three as they did fresh from the oven
02 -
  • Chilling your beef mixture for 15 minutes before portioning makes it much easier to handle and roll without sticking to your hands
  • If cheese leaks out during baking, do not worry, those crispy cheesy bits on the parchment paper are actually delicious and can be scraped off and enjoyed
03 -
  • If your beef mixture feels too sticky to work with, wet your hands with cold water before handling it
  • Let the roll ups rest for 5 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly and they are easier to pick up
