# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of seasoned beef and melted cheese creates this incredibly satisfying bite that feels way more indulgent than it actually is
  • They come together in under 30 minutes but look impressive enough for serving guests
  • Everything bakes in one pan and the cleanup is almost non existent
02 -
  • Make sure your cream cheese is completely softened or you will get chunks in the beef mixture that do not distribute evenly
  • The beef mixture might feel sticky and a bit stubborn to work with but keep your hands slightly damp and it will be much easier
  • Really seal those edges well or you will lose precious cheese into the pan while baking
03 -
  • If the beef mixture feels too sticky to handle, pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes before shaping the rectangles
  • Use kitchen shears to snip the pepperoni into smaller pieces so they distribute more evenly throughout each roll up
