Description

Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls are a delicious low-carb twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich, featuring a savory beef and vegetable filling wrapped in crispy, baked Monterey Jack cheese cups. Perfect for keto and low-carb diets, these rolls offer a rich and cheesy flavor with a satisfying texture.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Cheese Circles

  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)

Beef Mixture

  • 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. 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 break 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 and stir continuously until completely melted and incorporated. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
  4. Create Cheese Circles: On the parchment-lined baking sheet, create 8 evenly spaced circles with about 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese each. Leave at least 2 inches between circles as cheese will spread during baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until edges turn golden and cheese becomes lace-like.
  5. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Remove cheese circles from oven and let cool for about 1 minute so they remain 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 2-3 minutes to set the shape as the cheese hardens.

Notes

  • To add more tang, include a splash of apple cider vinegar to the beef mixture.
  • For extra depth of flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to the beef.
  • Garnish with 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley for brightness.
  • For allergen substitutions, use dairy-free melting cheese alternatives and coconut aminos for Worcestershire sauce.
  • Work quickly when rolling cheese as it cools and hardens fast.
