Why You’ll Love These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups
Think of these as a warm hug wrapped in cheese.

Ingredients That Work Hard
Ground beef: Juicy, satisfying, and ready in minutes.
Bell pepper & onion: Adds that classic Philly cheesesteak vibe.
Worcestershire sauce: Gives a rich, umami depth you don’t want to skip.
Cream cheese: Makes everything luscious and just the right amount of creamy.
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese: Your “wrap.” It crisps beautifully and holds all that gooey goodness inside.

How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups
1. Get Your Oven Going
Preheat that oven to 350°F. Let it warm up while you get to work on the filling.
2. Sizzle Up That Filling
In a large skillet, sauté your ground beef, sliced onion, and bell pepper over medium-high heat. You want the beef nice and browned and the veggies soft and caramelized about 8–10 minutes. Drain the excess grease (a slotted spoon is your BFF here).
Now stir in Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until everything’s melted together into a creamy, savory dream.
3. Say Cheese… and Bake It
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (trust me, this saves your life later). Then divide the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into 8 even piles, spaced apart. Flatten them into circles and pop in the oven for 8–10 minutes until bubbly and the edges start to turn golden-brown and lacy.
4. Roll ‘Em Up
Let the cheese circles cool for about a minute just enough to become pliable but not stiff. Spoon your filling into the center of each cheesy disc, then roll them gently like little cheesy burritos. Let them sit and firm up into handheld rolls of heaven.

Cooking Tips
Don’t overbake the cheese wraps you want them pliable, not crispy as chips.
Want more spice? Toss in some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Leftover filling? Toss it into eggs or stuff it into mushrooms for a second meal. Double win!
And hey, if your sliced cheese container for fridge is overflowing, this is the perfect way to make space. 😄
Serving Suggestions
Serve these beauties warm, straight from the baking sheet, with a dollop of sour cream or a side salad. They make a stellar dinner, snack, or even next-day lunch. (Also great with a few air fryer cheesesteak egg rolls on the side if you’re feeding a crowd.)
Storing and Meal Prepping
Let your roll ups cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container like your favorite sliced cheese container (they work for more than just cheese!). Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months in a so low freezer. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to get the cheese nice and crisp again no soggy microwave reboots here.
A Little Personal Touch
This recipe was born on a random Tuesday when I realized we were out of bread, tortillas, and frankly, patience. I threw what I had into a skillet, baked some cheese wraps, and held my breath. And you know what? My picky 9-year-old asked for seconds and now we make these every other week. Kitchen magic at its finest.
FAQs
Can I use a different cheese for the wrap?
Absolutely! Try provolone or mozzarella. Just be sure it melts and crisps well—cheddar tends to be a bit too oily for this job.
Can I make these into air fryer cheesesteak egg rolls?
Totally! Wrap the same filling in low-carb egg roll wrappers (or thin egg crepes), then air fry at 375°F for about 10 minutes. Instant crunch!
Are these freezer-friendly?
Yes! Cool completely, flash-freeze on a tray, then store in a so low freezer container. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
Can I meal prep this?
Yes, yes, and YES. Make the filling ahead of time, store it in the fridge, and bake the cheese wraps fresh when you’re ready.
What if I don’t like peppers or onions?
No worries swap in mushrooms or even spinach for a different flavor combo.
How do I keep my shredded cheese fresh?
Invest in a good sliced cheese container for fridge use. It keeps moisture out and your cheese ready for recipes like this.
Can I make these vegetarian?
Sure! Sub the ground beef for sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or even crumbled tofu with the same seasoning.
Will picky eaters like this?
It’s cheesy, meaty, and handheld what’s not to love? If you’ve got a crowd of skeptical eaters, try leaving out the peppers the first time and let the beef and cheese shine.
