(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Beef Mixture

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula.
Once the beef begins to brown, add the sliced onions and bell peppers.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the beef is fully browned and the vegetables are softened.
Drain excess grease to keep the roll-ups from getting soggy.

Step 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 the cream cheese and stir continuously until completely melted and incorporated.
Set the skillet aside and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4: Create Cheese Circles

On the prepared baking sheet, create 8 evenly spaced circles using the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. About ¼ cup per circle should do.
Leave at least 2 inches between each circle to allow the cheese to spread while baking.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese has a lace-like appearance.

Step 5: Assemble the Roll-Ups

Once the cheese circles are done, let them cool for about 1 minute. They should still be pliable but not too hot to handle.
Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each cheese circle.
Carefully roll or fold the cheese around the filling to create a roll-up shape.
Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes to set the shape as the cheese hardens.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls immediately while they’re still warm and enjoy a delicious, low-carb twist on a classic Philly cheesesteak.

FAQs

Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?

Yes, ground turkey is a great alternative. It will change the flavor slightly but still make for a delicious roll-up.

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the rolls and store them in the fridge for a day or two before baking, or freeze them to enjoy later.

Can I use dairy-free cheese?

Absolutely! If you’re dairy-free, use a dairy-free cheese that melts well to replace the Monterey Jack and cream cheese.

What if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?

You can substitute Worcestershire sauce with coconut aminos for a soy-free option, or a bit of balsamic vinegar if you prefer.

How do I prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan?

Using parchment paper on the baking sheet will prevent the cheese from sticking while baking and make cleanup a breeze.

Can I make these rolls spicier?

Yes, you can add a bit of cayenne pepper or jalapeños to the beef mixture to bring some heat to your rolls.
