Hey friend! Are you in the mood for something delicious, cheesy, and just a little bit different? I’ve got the perfect recipe for you—Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls! Seriously, these rolls are packed with flavor, creamy goodness, and they’re super simple to make. Plus, they’re perfect for anyone following a low-carb diet. There’s just something about the combination of the seasoned beef, the sautéed peppers and onions, and the melty cheese that makes this dish feel like a warm hug on a plate.

Nutritional Benefits

Let’s chat about the nutritional perks of these savory rolls. First off, using almond flour instead of regular flour makes these rolls low-carb, which is great for maintaining steady energy levels without the sugar crashes. Plus, the ground beef is an excellent source of protein, which helps keep you feeling full and satisfied! With the added goodness of cream cheese and mozzarella, you’re also getting healthy fats, which are fantastic for brain health. And hey, who said you can’t enjoy something tasty while being healthy?

Adaptable Variations to Consider

  • Swap the Meat: Not feeling beef? You can easily use ground turkey or chicken instead. They’ll also work well and might lighten things up a bit!
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the meat with diced mushrooms, eggplant, or zucchini for a plant-based version. Just remember to add some extra seasoning to keep those flavors popping!
  • Add Extra Veggies: Feel free to sneak in other veggies like spinach or jalapeños. They’ll add a nice little kick and some additional nutrients.

Delicious Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a baking dish and grease it with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil to keep those rolls from sticking.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once it’s hot and shimmering, toss in your sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté them until they’re nice and tender, about 5-7 minutes. When they are done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
  3. Now, let’s cook the beef! In that same skillet, add the ground beef. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook it until it’s nicely browned, and don’t forget to drain any excess grease once it’s done!
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat with your sautéed onions and bell peppers. Stir in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and all of the cream cheese until everything is well mixed. Set this aside to cool down a bit.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond flour. This will be the base for our delicious wraps.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour about 1/4 of the batter into the skillet, gently spreading it out to form a thin round shape. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift, then flip it over and cook for another minute. Once done, transfer it to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter to create four wraps.
  7. Time to assemble! Take a spoonful of that delicious meat and cheese mixture and place it onto each wrap. Roll them up tightly and position them seam-side down in your greased baking dish.
  8. Top those rolls with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese. It’s cheese time!
  9. Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Yum!
  10. Once done, let the rolls cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley. Dig in and enjoy your Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls!

Practical Tips for Success

  • If you want an extra crispy top, you can broil the rolls for a minute or two after baking; just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
  • These rolls are fantastic for meal prep! Just store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days—reheat in the oven for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste!
  • If you have any extra batter left over, you can make a mini wrap or pancake. They make a great snack!

Equipment Needed

Here’s a simple list of what you’ll need to whip up these tasty rolls:

  • A large mixing bowl for combining ingredients
  • A non-stick skillet or griddle for cooking the wraps
  • A regular skillet for sautéing the veggies and cooking the beef
  • A spatula or wooden spoon for mixing and flipping
  • A baking dish (9×13 inches works well) for baking

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can I use a different type of cheese? Sure! Cheddar or provolone would also work beautifully.
  2. What if I don’t have almond flour? You can substitute it with coconut flour, but you’ll need less—about 1/4 cup should do.
  3. Can I make these vegetarian? Of course! Just swap the meat for veggies or beans and season to your liking!
  4. How long can I store leftovers? These rolls keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in an oven to maintain that melty goodness!
  5. Can I freeze these rolls? Yes, but best if you freeze them before baking. Just wrap each roll tightly and they should be good for up to 3 months. Thaw before baking!
