⏱️ Time:

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)

16 oz ground beef

1/2 medium onion (thinly sliced)

1 bell pepper (thinly sliced)

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

4 oz cream cheese

Salt & pepper to taste

Optional: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Cheese Wraps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop 1/4 cup of shredded cheese into small piles (about 4–5 inches wide) and flatten them into circles.

Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until edges are golden and crispy but centers are still soft.

Remove and let them cool for 1–2 minutes until they can be handled but are still pliable.

Step 2: Cook the Filling

In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.

Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for about 5–6 minutes until softened.

Step 3: Assemble the Roll Ups

Spoon some of the cheesesteak filling onto each cheese wrap.

Roll tightly while still warm. The cheese will help seal them as they cool.

Tips:

Air Fryer Option: After rolling, air fry at 375°F for 3–4 minutes for a crispier exterior.

Storage: Store in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or air fryer.

Garnish: Sprinkle with parsley or a dash of hot sauce if you like heat.

Tips for Success:

Cheese Wrap Perfection: Let the baked cheese cool just enough to firm slightly but still be flexible for rolling—too soft and it’ll fall apart, too firm and it’ll crack.

Drain the Beef: After browning the ground beef, drain excess grease to avoid soggy roll ups.

Parchment Paper is Key: Always use parchment paper when baking the cheese—nothing sticks, and it peels off perfectly.

Reheat Like a Pro: Use an air fryer or dry skillet to bring back that crispy outer texture when reheating leftovers.

Tasty Variations:

Switch Up the Cheese: Try provolone, mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix for different flavor vibes.

Make It Spicy: Add jalapeños, crushed red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of hot sauce to the filling.

Use Steak Slices: Want a more classic Philly taste? Swap ground beef for thinly sliced steak or deli-style roast beef.

Add Mushrooms: Sautéed mushrooms give it a richer, umami depth—great with steak or beef.

Keto Pizza Twist: Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and a spoon of marinara inside for a Philly-meets-pizza mashup.

Mini Roll Ups: Make smaller cheese circles for bite-sized party appetizers or snacks.

Q&A:

1. Can I use a different cheese instead of provolone? Yes! You can use any cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Swiss cheese.

2. Can I add other vegetables? Yes, you can add mushrooms or spinach for additional flavor. Just sauté them with the onions and peppers.

3. Can I make these ahead of time? Absolutely! You can prepare the roll-ups, refrigerate them, and bake them the next day.

4. Can I use a different meat? Yes, you can use chicken or turkey if you prefer a different protein. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the type of meat.

5. Are these suitable for meal prep? Yes, these roll-ups make a great option for meal prep. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
