# What You'll Need:
→ Meats
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
05 - 2 oz cream cheese, softened

# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
03 - Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion on a sheet of parchment paper into a rectangle about 5x3 inches.
04 - Place a few pepperoni slices and some shredded mozzarella in the center of each rectangle.
05 - Carefully roll up each rectangle around the filling, sealing the edges to prevent cheese from leaking out.
