Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
16 ounces ground beef
½ medium onion (sliced)
1 bell pepper (sliced)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces cream cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

I preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until it starts to brown. Then I add the onions and bell pepper and cook until the vegetables soften, about 5–7 minutes. I drain any excess grease.
I stir in Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, salt, and pepper until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
On the prepared baking sheet, I form 8 even cheese circles (about ¼ cup each). I bake them for 8–10 minutes until the edges are golden and lacy.
Once out of the oven, I let the cheese circles cool for about 1 minute until pliable but not hot. I add roughly 2 Tbsp of the beef mixture to each and carefully roll them up. Then I let them cool 2–3 minutes to set.

Servings and timing

Servings: 8 roll‑ups (1 roll‑up per serving)
Prep time: Approximately 15 minutes
Cook time: Approximately 15–20 minutes

Variations

I swap ground beef for thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin to get closer to an authentic Philly experience.
I experiment with cheese—provolone for classic vibes, mozzarella for extra stretch, or Swiss for bold flavor.
I add veggies like sliced mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor or a spicy kick.
For a different base, I try a fat‑head dough circle instead of pure cheese to hold the filling.

Storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
I freeze individual roll‑ups for up to 3 months—first freezing them solid on a baking sheet, then transferring to freezer bags.
To reheat: from the fridge, I microwave briefly or reheat in a skillet; from frozen, I thaw overnight and bake at 350 °F for about 10 minutes to restore crisp texture.

FAQs

How can I avoid cheese circles becoming too crispy and cracking?

I keep a close eye on the baking time and remove them once the edges are golden and lacy but the center remains pliable.

Can I use sliced steak instead of ground beef?

Yes, thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin works beautifully for a more traditional Philly taste.

Are these roll‑ups suitable for make‑ahead meal prep?

Absolutely—I prepare them ahead, store in the fridge, and reheat when needed. They hold up well.

What are good substitutions for dairy‑free or allergy‑friendly options?

I try high‑quality dairy‑free cheese that melts well, and replace Worcestershire sauce with coconut aminos for a soy‑free, gluten‑free alternative.

Can I make these roll‑ups spicier?

Yes—I add jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the filling to give it a spicy kick.

Conclusion

I find these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls are a perfect low‑carb comfort food full of cheesy, savory flavor. They come together quickly, are versatile in preparation and ingredients, and are perfect for meal prep or a satisfying dinner. I’m excited to keep experimenting with different cheeses, meats, and seasonings to make this recipe my own—not just once, but often.
