Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these cheesy, beefy roll-ups:
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (this forms your “bread”)
- 16 ounces ground beef (go with 80/20 for flavor)
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced thin
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color, but red gives a sweet balance)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (for that umami magic)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (this makes the filling creamy-dreamy)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step: How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls
Step 1: Preheat That Oven
Get your oven nice and toasty—350°F (175°C) to be exact. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to save your sanity later.
Step 2: Cook the Beef Mixture
- Grab a skillet and heat it over medium-high.
- Toss in your ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Once it starts to brown, add onions and bell peppers.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until beef is browned and veggies are softened.
- Important: Drain any excess grease—nobody wants a soggy roll-up.
Step 3: Season & Creamify
- Return your skillet to the heat.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cream cheese and stir until it’s fully melted and mixed in.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4: Make the Cheese “Shells”
- On your prepared baking sheet, form 8 small circles with the shredded Monterey Jack—about 1/4 cup per circle.
- Leave 2 inches between each; the cheese will spread like your favorite stretchy leggings.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are golden and they look lacy and crisp.
Step 5: Assemble Your Rolls
- Let the cheese circles cool for about 1 minute—they should be flexible but not scalding.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each.
- Carefully roll or fold them up.
- Let them cool for 2-3 minutes so they can hold their shape.
Tips for Cheesesteak Roll Success
- Timing is everything: When assembling, the cheese circles are your window of opportunity. Too hot? Burnt fingers. Too cold? Cheese snaps like your last patience string.
- Add a kick: Toss in some jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you’re feeling spicy.
- Swap it up: Don’t have Monterey Jack? Mozzarella or provolone work too—just watch the bake time as they may crisp differently.
- Meal prep queen? The beef mixture can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat and roll!
A Little Kitchen Story…
So here’s the thing—this recipe actually came from one of those “fridge clean-out Fridays.” I had a pound of ground beef, a bell pepper that was on its last good day, and (surprise!) no tortillas. The cheese circles? A total experiment that turned into a go-to favorite. My daughter now calls them “cheese tacos,” and hey, whatever gets her to eat veggies is fine by me.
FAQs About Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls
Can I use shredded chicken instead of ground beef?
Absolutely! Shredded rotisserie chicken works like a charm and still keeps it low-carb and flavorful.
How do I store leftovers?
Pop them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for the best texture (microwave works too, but it softens the cheese wrap).
Can I freeze these?
Technically yes, but the cheese wrap may lose some of its crispiness. If you’re okay with that, go ahead and wrap them in parchment paper, then foil, and freeze for up to a month.
These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls Are a Total Game-Changer
Whether you’re deep into keto or just trying to cut back on carbs without cutting out flavor, these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls hit the sweet spot. They’re gooey, hearty, and full of that classic Philly taste—minus the bread. Serve them up for dinner, meal prep for the week, or sneak one for lunch when no one’s looking (we won’t tell).
