3. Bake:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sprinkle the tops of the rolls with additional shredded cheese.

Tips:

• You can add a layer of tomato sauce or marinara before rolling for extra flavor.
• Substitute beef with ground chicken, turkey, or plant-based meat alternatives for variety.
• Serve with a side of sour cream, salsa, or garlic yogurt sauce.
