Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce:
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to ensure easy release of the roll-ups.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend ground beef, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Spread the meat mixture into thin, uniform rectangles approximately 4 inches long and 2 inches wide, creating a consistent base for rolling.
- Carefully roll each meat rectangle tightly, ensuring compact and even formation, then position each roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Generously drizzle marinara sauce over the beef rolls, covering them completely to enhance moisture and flavor during baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the beef is thoroughly cooked and cheese becomes perfectly melted and bubbly.
- Allow the cheesy beef roll-ups to rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven, which helps set the filling and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Customize the beef mixture by swapping ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat for healthier alternatives.
- Control the spice level by adjusting garlic powder and adding red pepper flakes for extra kick.
- Ensure even cooking by using uniform rectangular shapes and avoiding overly thick rolls.
- Prevent dryness by not overcooking and checking internal temperature reaches 160°F for ground beef safety.
