Description

A low-carb twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak, these roll ups are wrapped in crispy, golden cheese instead of bread—delivering all the flavor without the carbs. Perfect as a main course, snack, or party appetizer!

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
16 oz ground beef
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 oz cream cheese
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.

2️⃣ Cook the Filling
In a large skillet over medium-high heat:

Add ground beef, onion, and bell pepper.

Cook for 6–8 minutes until beef is browned and vegetables are tender.

Drain excess grease.

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, salt, and pepper.

Mix until the cream cheese is melted and everything is creamy and combined.

Pro Tip: Add a dash of garlic powder or red pepper flakes if you like it spicy!

3️⃣ Make the Cheese Wraps

Place 8 mounds (about ¼ cup each) of shredded cheese on the prepared baking sheet.

Flatten each into a thin circle, leaving space between them.

Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden and cheese is bubbly with a lacy texture.

4️⃣ Assemble the Roll Ups

Let cheese circles cool for 1–2 minutes (they should still be pliable).

Spoon beef filling onto the center of each.

Carefully roll the cheese around the filling to form a wrap.

Let them cool slightly to firm up and hold shape.

Notes

Cheese Choice Matters:
Monterey Jack gives a mild flavor and crisps well. For a more traditional Philly flavor, try provolone. Mozzarella works too, but it’s stretchier and less crispy.
Don’t Overfill:
Stick to about 2 tablespoons of filling per cheese wrap to keep them easy to roll and prevent tearing.
Let Cheese Set Slightly:
After baking, let the cheese circles cool for just 1–2 minutes—just enough to firm up slightly but still be flexible. If they cool too much, they’ll crack when you try to roll them.
