Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups
These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are a low-carb twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak, with Monterey Jack cheese wraps, tender ground beef, and sautéed peppers and onions.
Ingredients
- For the Roll-Ups:
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 16 ounces Ground beef 80/20 blend for flavor
- 1/2 Medium onion sliced thin
- 1 Bell pepper sliced, any color
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces Cream cheese softened
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips for even cooking. Divide the shredded Monterey Jack into 8 equal portions and cube the cream cheese for easy melting.
- Cook the Filling: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to develop a crust. Add onions and bell peppers, cooking for 7-10 minutes until tender. Drain excess grease, then add Worcestershire sauce, cubed cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until cream cheese melts into the beef mixture. Remove from heat.
- Make the Cheese Wraps: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 8 portions of shredded cheese onto the paper, flattening them into 4-inch circles. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges turn golden brown.
- Roll the Cheesesteaks: Let the cheese circles cool for 1-2 minutes. Once warm enough to handle but still pliable, place about 2 tablespoons of the filling along one edge of each cheese circle and gently roll them into logs. Place each roll-up seam-side down and allow them to cool completely to help them hold their shape.
Notes
Storage: Store cooled roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, wrap them individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheating: From the fridge, microwave for 30-45 seconds or bake in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes for the best texture. For frozen roll-ups, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as above. Cheese Variations: While Monterey Jack works best for its meltability and crispiness, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone for different textures and flavors. Vegetarian Option: Use meatless ground beef or sautéed mushrooms and spinach as a filling for a vegetarian alternative.
