Stuffed with seasoned ground beef and onions, these flaky phyllo rolls are a protein-rich treat you can enjoy as a meal, snack, or party appetizer.
My whole family loves them just as much as I do—and honestly, anyone who loves pastry, beef, and finger foods will, too!
You could call these mini börek rolls, but I’m sticking with stuffed beef phyllo rolls because, well, that tells you exactly what they are.
For the best experience, add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream—trust me on this one. And for the love of God, do not dip these in ketchup. My kids do it, and I’m still recovering from the shock, haha.
If you ever go anywhere in the Balkans or eat with a person from Balkan countries and pull out ketchup for these, I guarantee you’ll get the look. Jokes aside, I just think they taste way better with yogurt, sour cream, or even cottage cheese.
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. You don’t need a long list of ingredients—just the essentials: ground beef, onion, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, parsley, and a pinch of cayenne for a little kick (optional but highly recommended.
A little butter and sesame seeds add the perfect finishing touch, along with, of course, phyllo dough. Chances are, you already have most of these in your pantry or fridge.
If beef isn’t your thing, feel free to swap it for ground chicken, turkey, or even lamb. You can also throw in your favorite dried herbs or seasonings to make it your own.
These rolls are crispy, flavorful, and ridiculously easy to make. So, who’s giving them a try? Let me know!
Unbaked Rolls (Best Method)
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place frozen rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Let the baked rolls cool completely.
Store in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, layering with parchment paper.
Freeze for up to 2 months.
Oven (Best Method): Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
Air Fryer: Heat at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
Microwave (Least Crispy): Heat in 30-second bursts until warm.
These rolls are perfect for meal prepping because they’re easy to assemble, store, and reheat! Here’s how to make a big batch without hassle:
Since phyllo dough comes in large packs, it’s easy to make more at once. Just double or triple the filling, and you’ll have plenty of rolls ready to go for future meals or snacks.
Freeze the rolls in small batches (4–6 per bag) so you can take out only what you need instead of defrosting all at once.
If you want to switch things up, here are some delicious filling ideas while keeping the crispy, flaky phyllo goodness:
Filling: Feta cheese, ricotta, spinach (sautéed & squeezed dry), egg, garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Tip: This is similar to Greek spanakopita!
Filling: Ground chicken, finely chopped mushrooms, onion, garlic, black pepper, and a touch of cream cheese for extra creaminess.
Tip: Add thyme or oregano for extra flavor.
Filling: Ground lamb, onion, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped fresh mint or parsley.
Tip: Serve with tzatziki sauce for a refreshing contrast.
Filling: Ground turkey, dried cranberries, sautéed onion, garlic, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
Tip: Add a little rosemary or sage for that holiday vibe!
Filling: Sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, garlic, chickpeas (mashed), and cumin.
Tip: Brush with olive oil instead of butter for a vegan-friendly option. You can also use vegan butter.
Filling: Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or sausage, shredded cheese, and chives.
Tip: Serve with sour cream or hot sauce for an easy breakfast wrap!

Pasta is one of those beloved ingredients found in most households. It’s affordable, delicious, and incredibly versatile. I couldn’t even tell you exactly how many pasta recipes I’ve shared on my blog—there are a lot, that much I know!
While I don’t eat pasta as often, I make it at least twice a week for my boys. It’s my go-to for a quick meal or simply because they’re craving it. It’s also a great option if you have unexpected guests knocking on your door.
What I love most about this one is its endless possibilities. Whether you prefer it vegetarian, with beef or chicken, paired with tomato sauce, or smothered in Alfredo, there’s always a way to make it your own. Even something as simple as olive oil pasta, one of my personal favorites, can be incredibly satisfying.
If you’re looking to swap out penne for something different, here are some other great tube-shaped options:
Rigatoni: Larger tubes with ridges, perfect for holding thicker sauces.
Ziti: Smooth, smaller tubes often used in baked dishes like ziti al forno.
Tortiglioni: Similar to rigatoni but with deeper, more pronounced grooves.
Each type has its own unique texture and charm, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different shapes to elevate your dishes.
If beef isn’t your thing, there are so many amazing vegetables you can use to create a delicious, plant-based pasta. Mushrooms, spinach, peas, and broccoli are some of my favorites for adding flavor, texture, and nutrients to your dish.
Any kind of noodle form is truly a blank canvas, ready for you to get creative. Let me know if you’d like specific tips for pairing sauces or ingredients with your pasta of choice—I’d love to help inspire your next meal

Summer is a wonderful time for grilling and enjoying the abundance of fresh produce.
While I may not be a big fan of summer in general, I always make the most of it by indulging in delicious grilled meals, going to the pool, or taking a mini vacation close to the beach.
One of my all-time favorite creations is the kimchi burger sliders. Being a huge fan of kimchi, it was no surprise that I came up with this recipe years ago for a client.

This recipe is foolproof. I’ve been making it for many years and I know that you guys would love it.

If the cheese slice is too large for the slicer you can cut it into 4 smaller pieces or in half.
