Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls are a delicious low-carb twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich, using melted Monterey Jack cheese as the wrap instead of bread. Filled with savory ground beef, onions, and bell peppers in a creamy sauce, these rolls are perfect for keto-friendly meals.
You’ll love these rolls because they satisfy your cheesesteak cravings while keeping carbs low and flavor high. The cheese crisps up flaky on the edges while staying pliable for rolling, encasing the rich, cheesy beef mixture. They’re easy to prepare and make a satisfying snack or meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 16 ounces ground beef
- ½ medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
-
In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until vegetables soften and beef is browned. Drain excess grease.
-
Add Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, salt, and pepper to taste; stir until cheese melts and mixture is well combined.
-
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, divide shredded Monterey Jack cheese into 8 equal circles. Bake 8-10 minutes until edges brown and cheese forms a lace-like pattern.
-
Let cheese cool 1-2 minutes until pliable. Place a portion of beef mixture on each cheese circle.
-
Carefully roll cheese around filling to form a wrap. Let cool and harden before serving.
Tips for Success
-
Use shredded cheese rather than slices for better melting and flexibility.
-
Work quickly once cheese is melted to shape wraps before hardening.
-
Adjust Worcestershire sauce and seasoning to taste.
-
Use a non-stick or parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Delicious Variations
-
Substitute ground beef with steak strips or ground chicken for variety.
-
Add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
-
Mix in mushrooms or other sautéed veggies.
-
Top with avocado or ranch dressing when serving.
-
Make smaller rolls for appetizers or snacks.
