Introduction
If you’re craving all the rich, indulgent flavors of a Philly cheesesteak without the carbs, these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are just what you need.
This dish blends the sizzling goodness of seasoned beef, the smooth melt of cheeses, and the satisfying crunch of onions and peppersāall wrapped into a low-carb masterpiece.
It’s a delicious, guilt-free twist on a beloved classic, perfect for keto followers and meat lovers alike.
Ingredients
2 cups Monterey jack cheese (shredded
16 ounces ground beef
š§ 1/2 medium onion (sliced)
š¶ļø 1 bell pepper (sliced)
š„« 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
š§ 4 ounces cream cheese
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to a moderate temperature to get everything ready for baking. This will help your cheese base cook evenly and form the perfect wrap for the savory filling.
Spread the shredded Monterey jack cheese in thin, circular shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake these until they are melted and slightly golden around the edges, which usually takes just a few minutes. Allow them to cool slightly to make them pliable for rolling.
While your cheese rounds are baking, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it’s browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess grease for a cleaner, firmer filling.
Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the beef and continue to cook until the vegetables are tender but still have a bit of crunch. This gives your filling the authentic Philly cheesesteak texture.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese, letting everything melt together into a creamy, flavorful mixture. The cream cheese acts as a binder and adds richness that balances out the meat and veggies.
Spoon a portion of the beef and veggie mixture onto each cheese round. Work quickly while the cheese is still slightly warm and flexible, so it doesnāt crack during rolling.
Carefully roll them up like little wraps, securing the edges if needed. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, or store in an airtight container for reheating later.
How to Make
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and prepping your veggies. Slice the onion and bell pepper thinly to ensure they cook evenly and integrate well into the filling. Shred your Monterey jack cheese fresh for optimal melt and flavor.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the shredded cheese into even rounds, about the size of a small tortilla. This will be your cheesy āwrapā that holds everything together.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cheese until it’s fully melted and starts to bubble and brown slightly at the edges. This step is crucial because undercooked cheese won’t hold its shape, while overcooked cheese may become too brittle.
As the cheese bakes, sautƩ the ground beef in a large pan over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired, although the Worcestershire and cheese will add plenty of flavor.
Once the beef is browned, add in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Continue to cook until the vegetables are softened but not mushy, maintaining some crunch for texture.
Reduce the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese. Let everything meld together, creating a rich, creamy filling that’s both savory and satisfying.
After the cheese rounds have cooled slightly, spoon in the beef mixture and roll them up. Serve these warm as a main course, appetizer, or snack, and enjoy the fusion of bold flavors in every bite.
Variations
Switch out the Monterey jack cheese for provolone or mozzarella if you prefer a milder or more traditional cheesesteak taste. Each cheese brings a unique texture and melt, allowing for variety in flavor.
For a spicier kick, use pepper jack cheese instead of regular Monterey jack. You can also add jalapeƱos to the filling or drizzle with a low-carb hot sauce before rolling.
Try using thinly sliced steak or shaved beef instead of ground beef for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak feel. Cook the steak quickly to keep it tender and juicy.
Vegetarians can substitute the meat with sautƩed mushrooms or a meat-free ground alternative. The flavor and texture are still incredibly satisfying, especially with the creamy cheese base.
Add more vegetables like spinach or zucchini for a nutritious twist. These blend well into the beef mixture without overpowering the dish.
Incorporate different herbs and seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning to customize the flavor to your preference.
You can also serve these roll ups with a dipping sauce such as garlic aioli or low-carb marinara to enhance the flavor and add extra moisture.
Tips
Let the cheese cool just enough to be pliableātoo hot, and it will stretch; too cool, and it will break when you try to roll it. Timing is everything for a perfect wrap.
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat when melting the cheese to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
Drain the beef thoroughly after cooking to prevent the roll ups from becoming soggy. This also helps the filling stay intact and easier to manage.
Don’t overfill the cheese rounds, as too much filling can cause them to split when rolling. A heaping tablespoon is usually enough.
If your cheese rounds harden before you’re ready to roll, pop them back in the oven for a few seconds to soften them again.
These roll ups store well in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness.
Customize with toppings like chopped green onions, shredded lettuce, or even a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a bolder finish.
Conclusion
