How to Store

- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
- They can be frozen individually, then thawed before reheating for best texture.
What Not to Do
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the beef and veggies — this can cause steaming instead of browning.
- Do not try to roll the cheese shells while they are too hot — wait until they are cool enough to handle.
- Do not add too much filling to each cheese circle, or they may tear while rolling.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, brown the beef with garlic powder or onion powder.
- Use different cheeses like provolone or cheddar for varied taste and melt.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the filling for a richer texture.
- Serve with a side of low-carb dipping sauce like sugar-free ranch or mustard.
