2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
16 oz ground beef
½ medium onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced

4 oz cream cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook beef mixture:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Once it begins to brown, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until beef is browned and veggies are soft (5–7 minutes).
- Drain excess grease.
Season and add cheese:
- Return skillet to heat. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in cream cheese until fully melted and combined. Remove from heat.
Make cheese circles:
- On the lined baking sheet, create 8 circles of shredded cheese (about ¼ cup each), spaced at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese edges are golden and crisp.
Assemble roll-ups:
- Let cheese cool 1 minute (still pliable).
- Add 2 tablespoons of beef mixture to each circle and roll them up.
- Let set for 2–3 minutes before serving.

FAQs

1. Can I use steak instead of ground beef?

Yes—thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin is great for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak experience.

2. Can I make these ahead?

Yes—store the beef mixture and cheese circles separately, then assemble and bake fresh.

3. What cheese works best?

Monterey Jack melts beautifully, but provolone or mozzarella are great alternatives.

4. Can I freeze these?

They’re best fresh, but you can freeze the beef mixture and assemble later.

5. How do I keep the cheese from sticking?

Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat—avoid foil.

6. Are they keto-friendly?

Yes—low in carbs and high in fat, they’re ideal for keto diets.

7. How spicy are they?

They’re mild as written—add hot sauce or chili flakes for heat.

8. Can I make them vegetarian?

Use a meatless ground alternative or sautéed mushrooms and spinach.

9. What side dishes pair well?

Cauliflower mash, side salad, or roasted veggies make great low-carb sides.

10. Do I need to use tongs to roll them?

Tongs help but aren’t necessary. Use a spatula and fingers carefully while warm.
