Ingredients
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese to room temperature.
- Mix the ground beef, grated onion, and cream cheese together in a bowl.
- Season the mixture with garlic salt, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Flatten each refrigerator biscuit and place a small amount of the meat mixture on each one.
- Crimp the edges of the biscuits to seal the filling inside.
- Place the filled biscuits on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 300°F until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding some chopped herbs like parsley or thyme to the meat mixture. If you want a lighter option, you can substitute ground turkey for the beef. Also, using low-fat cream cheese can make this dish a bit healthier without sacrificing creaminess. Ensure the biscuits are rolled out evenly for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
These meat rolls are perfect as an appetizer or a main dish. Serve them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh salad to balance the richness. They pair beautifully with Beef Stew(Homemade) for a hearty meal or can be enjoyed at a party as finger food.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover meat rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain their crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these meat rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the meat mixture and assemble the rolls a day in advance. Just cover them tightly and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. This can save you time if you're hosting a gathering.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
If you're looking for a substitute, ricotta cheese or sour cream can work well, offering a different but delicious flavor and texture. Just ensure they are mixed thoroughly with the other ingredients.
Can I freeze the meat rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze unbaked meat rolls. Just place them on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, there's no need to thaw; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
