How to Make Cheesy Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté:
- Ground beef,
- Onion, and
- Bell pepper
Sauté for 7–8 minutes, until the beef is browned and veggies are soft.
Drain excess grease.
Add:
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese
Stir until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Bake the Cheese Wraps
On your baking sheet, form 8 cheese circles (~¼ cup cheese each).
Flatten them into even rounds.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until bubbly and golden around the edges.
Pro Tip: Watch them closely after 8 minutes to avoid burning.
Step 4: Assemble & Roll
Let cheese circles cool slightly—but while still warm and flexible:
- Spoon in the beef mixture.
- Carefully roll each one up.
Let them set for 2–3 minutes until firm. Serve warm!
