Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls are a delicious low-carb twist on the classic sandwich. Featuring savory ground beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and melty Monterey Jack cheese, these roll-ups make a perfect snack or light meal. They are quick to prepare and oven-baked to crispy perfection.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
• 16 ounces ground beef
• 1/2 medium onion (sliced)
• 1 bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
2. Step 2: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. When it begins to brown, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until beef is fully browned and vegetables soften, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess grease to avoid soggy roll-ups.
3. Step 3: Return skillet to medium heat. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Add cream cheese and stir until melted and fully combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Step 4: On the parchment-lined baking sheet, make 8 circles with about 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese each, spaced at least 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden and cheese has a lace-like texture.
5. Step 5: Remove cheese circles from oven and let cool for about 1 minute until pliable but not hot. Quickly place about 2 tablespoons of beef mixture onto each circle, then roll or fold the cheese around the filling to form roll-ups. Let cool 2–3 minutes to set the shape as cheese hardens.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the beef mixture.
• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• Use different cheese varieties like cheddar or provolone to customize flavor.
• Slice bell peppers thinly to ensure they soften properly during cooking.

Storage

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or microwave to soften the cheese without melting it completely. These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.

FAQs

Can I make these gluten-free?

Can I prepare the beef mixture ahead of time?

Absolutely. Cook the beef and vegetable mixture in advance, store it in the refrigerator, and assemble the rolls just before baking the cheese circles.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cheese Circles

• 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
• 4 ounces cream cheese

Beef Mixture

• 16 ounces ground beef
• 1/2 medium onion (sliced)
• 1 bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Cook the Beef Mixture: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef to the hot skillet and begin breaking it apart with a spatula. Once beef begins to brown, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until the beef is fully browned and vegetables have softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease from the pan to prevent soggy roll-ups.
3. Season and Add Cheese: Return the skillet to medium heat. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture and stir to combine. Add cream cheese to the skillet and stir continuously until completely melted and well incorporated. Remove the skillet from heat, and set aside.
4. Create Cheese Circles: On your parchment-lined baking sheet, create 8 evenly spaced circles using the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, about 1/4 cup per circle. Leave at least 2 inches between each circle as the cheese will spread during baking. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese develops a lace-like texture.
5. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Remove cheese circles from the oven and let cool for about 1 minute until pliable but not too hot. Quickly place approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each cheese circle. Carefully roll or fold the cheese around the filling to form a roll-up shape. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes for the shape to set as the cheese hardens.

Notes

• Ensure the cheese circles have enough space on the baking sheet to spread without merging.
• Drain excess grease to keep the roll-ups from becoming soggy.
• Work quickly when assembling the roll-ups while cheese is still flexible but not hot to avoid breaking.
• Serve immediately for the best crispness and flavor.
• Can be customized by adding mushrooms or substituting beef with ground turkey for variation.
