Ingredients

• Monterey Jack cheese: Shredded Melts smoothly and crisps up beautifully Look for blocks and shred yourself for freshness
• Ground beef: Choose eighty five percent lean for juicier results Go for grass fed if possible for flavor and health benefits
• Onion: Sliced Adds mild sweetness Red or yellow onions both work just pick for flavor
• Bell pepper: Sliced Brings brightness and color Choose firm peppers and slice thin for faster cooking
• Worcestershire sauce: Deepens umami flavors and mimics true cheesesteak Select a quality brand for the best result
• Cream cheese: Softens the filling and makes it rich Full fat is ideal for keto and great texture
• Salt and pepper: Use freshly cracked pepper for a little bite Sea salt or kosher salt works well

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Oven:

Preheat your oven to three fifty degrees Fahrenheit one seventy five degrees Celsius Line a baking sheet with parchment paper This step keeps rolls from sticking and makes cleanup much easier

Cook the Beef Mixture:

Place a large skillet over medium high heat Add the ground beef and break it apart with a sturdy spatula As soon as it starts to brown toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers Cook everything together for five to seven minutes Stir often until the beef is fully browned and vegetables are soft Take care to drain off any excess grease to keep the rolls crisp

Season and Add Cheese:

Keep your pan over medium heat Sprinkle in the Worcestershire sauce as well as salt and pepper to taste Stir to fully combine everything Cube your cream cheese and add it to the mix Stir frequently as it melts and blends into the filling Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly so it is not piping hot when assembling

Create Cheese Circles:

Spread about one quarter cup of shredded Monterey Jack into eight evenly spaced mounds on your prepared baking sheet Keep at least two inches between each since the cheese spreads Bake in your preheated oven for eight to ten minutes Watch for the edges to turn deep golden and lace like for perfect texture

Assemble the Roll Ups:

Take out the baking sheet and let the cheese circles cool for just about one minute They should be bendable but not too hot Scoop two tablespoons of your beef mixture onto each circle Gently roll or fold the cheese around the filling creating a firm roll up Allow them to rest for a couple minutes to firm up as the cheese cools

Storage Tips

Let leftover roll ups cool completely before storing Stack them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers so they do not stick Store in the fridge for up to four days Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to bring back the crispy edges Microwaving works but can make them soft

Ingredient Substitutions

Try ground turkey or chicken for a lighter flavor Provolone or mozzarella cheese work if Monterey Jack is not available You can sauté mushrooms into the filling for extra umami It is easy to make these vegetarian use cooked mushrooms and spinach instead of beef

Serving Suggestions
