Philly Cheesesteak Lasagna Roll Ups
Philly Cheesesteak Lasagna Roll Ups layer a flavorful mix of browned ground beef, onions, green peppers, and seasonings inside tender lasagna noodles, rolled and topped with a creamy cheddar cheese sauce. The sauce is made by thickening milk and beef broth with cornstarch, then melting shredded cheddar cheese to create a rich, cheesy topping. The dish offers a fusion of classic Philly cheesesteak flavors with comforting pasta presentation.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion diced, small
- 1 bell pepper diced, small green
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- 12 ounces cheddar cheese shredded and divided
- 8 lasagna noodles cooked one minute shy of instructions
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup milk (I used whole)
- 1 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the ground beef to a large cast iron skillet (this browns very well) and brown until a deep brown crust appears before breaking the beef apart.
- Stir the ground beef and brown until a deep crust appears on about 50 or so percent of the beef.
- Remove the beef (you can leave the fat) and add the butter and the onions and bell peppers.
- Let brown for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1-2 minutes before stirring again.
- Add the beef back into the pan.
- Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper into the pan and stir.
- Remove the beef mixture from the pan to a large bowl while you make the sauce.
- Using the same pan add the beef broth, milk and cornstarch and whisk before turning the heat back on.
- Add in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese a little at a time while whisking for 3-5 minutes or until thickened.
- Line up the lasagna sheets and scoop the beef mixture over the noodles, leaving about 2 inches uncovered.*
- Spoon over small amounts of the sauce (not enough to spill off the noodles).
- Top each one with 2 tablespoons of cheddar (1 cup for the 8 noodles).
- Roll the noodle somewhat tightly starting on the side with the filling.
- Place the rolled pasta in a 9x13 pan and cover with the sauce.
- Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Notes
- Save some filling to sprinkle on top of the roll ups before the final cheese layer for extra flavor and texture.
