How to Make It

1. Heat Olive Oil

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. You’ll start to smell that beautiful oil shimmering—a delightful sign you’re on your way to a fabulous meal!

2. Sauté Onions and Bell Peppers

Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until soft, stirring occasionally. The onions will turn translucent, and the peppers will become fragrant—let those cozy aromas fill your kitchen!

3. Cook the Ground Beef

Stir in the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Feel free to take a taste during this step—it’s just so good!

4. Mix in Cheese

Once the beef is cooked through, reduce the heat to low and mix in the shredded cheese until it’s fully melted. This is where the magic happens; watch it melt into a gooey, delicious filling!

5. Spoon Into Rolls

Carefully spoon the mixture into the keto rolls or low-carb wraps you’ve chosen. It’s like filling a treasure chest of cheesy goodness!

6. Serve Hot and Enjoy!

Serve your rolls while they’re piping hot. I recommend pairing them with a side salad or sautéed vegetables for a deliciously balanced meal.

Pro Tips for Success

• Get Creative with Cheese: Experiment with different cheese blends like mozzarella or pepper jack for extra flavor.
• Chop Veggies Early: Prep your peppers and onions ahead of time to make cooking even faster.
• Don’t Rush the Sauté: Take your time with sautéing; it deepens the flavor and adds that perfect texture!
• Taste as You Go: Adjust seasonings to suit your palate—you’re the chef here!

Flavor Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat!
• Mushroom Magic: Toss in diced mushrooms for an earthy flavor.
• Seasonal Twist: In cooler months, stir in some roasted butternut squash for a slight sweetness.
