How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Casserole:

• To prepare this delicious recipe, begin by drizzling a generous amount of olive oil into the base of a skillet. Heat the skillet over medium to high heat to ensure optimal warmth while you dice and prepare your fresh vegetables.
• Next, carefully add your chopped veggies to the sizzling skillet, allowing them to sauté over high heat for approximately 5-6 minutes until they achieve a delightful tenderness.
• Once your veggies have softened to perfection, it’s time to introduce the star of the dish: John Soule’s Beef Fajitas. Add the savory beef strips to the skillet and let them cook for approximately 2 minutes.
• Now, it’s time to elevate the dish to new heights of creamy goodness. Incorporate a sumptuous dollop of cream cheese into the mix, along with your preferred seasonings. Stir diligently to ensure that each tender piece of beef is thoroughly coated with the rich cream cheese.
• Allow the ingredients to harmonize over the heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring that all the flavors blend beautifully. As the aroma fills the air, generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the skillet, letting it melt into a gooey, irresistible topping.
• This melting process typically takes around 2 minutes when the heat is set on high.
• Once the cheese has achieved its luscious melted state, your dish is ready to serve, tantalizing taste buds and satisfying cravings with its mouthwatering combination of fresh vegetables, succulent beef, and creamy cheeses.

Can I Make Philly Cheesesteak Ahead of Time?

Variation Ideas:

Swap the Protein: You can easily change the protein in this keto Philly cheese steak skillet recipe by using John Soules Chicken or your favorite brand of pre-seasoned sliced chicken. Swap out the cheese for your favorite kind or add a variety of cheeses for a new flavor.

Cheese: This recipe is great with melted American cheese or a thick layer of Swiss cheese and provolone cheese. If you are following a clean keto diet, it may be best to shred your own cheese as many pre-shredded cheeses have added ingredients that may align better with dirty keto. For an extra creamy cheesesteak, add an entire block of cream cheese to the pan and melt before serving.

Make a Sandwich: If you prefer a more traditional Philly Cheesesteak, serve this low-carb meal on keto bread or lettuce wraps.

Make a Philly Cheesesteak Casserole Recipe: Prepare the meat and peppers in a skillet then place all of the ingredients into a casserole dish. Sprinkle your choice of cheeses on top, set the oven temperature to 400 degrees then melt the cheese in the oven.

Making a low-carb Philly cheesesteak casserole meal could take about 7-10 minutes in the oven depending on the amount of cheese on top. For an extra creamy cheesesteak, add a block of cream cheese.

Use your favorite bell peppers, this recipe is great with yellow, orange, red, or green bell peppers.

Add in more of your favorite low-carb vegetables like radishes, mushrooms, or zucchini.

The heart of this keto Philly cheese steak skillet recipe is John Soule’s Beef Fajitas, this ingredient makes this meal quick to prepare since the John Soules steak comes fully cooked and pre-sliced.

If you want to use ground beef, ground turkey, or even steak strips to make this recipe, it will take longer than 15 minutes to thinly slice and cook the meat.

I have made this recipe using several different cuts of meat and my whole family loved it. I prefer to use John Soules steak to make this recipe because it saves me a lot of time although sometimes it isn’t available at my local store. When this is the case, I use flank steak instead.

Another way to save time when making this recipe is to buy pre-diced peppers and onions in the freezer aisle.

This step only takes a couple of minutes to prepare but if you are really pressed for time, buying frozen vegetables will make this quick low-carb meal even faster.

Time-Saving Tip: To cut down on meal prep time when using meat from the grocery store, ask the butcher to slice the meat before purchasing.
