Tips for the Perfect Keto Philly Cheesesteak Casserole Sandwich

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the steak mixture.
• Use different types of cheese for a unique flavor profile, such as pepper jack or Monterey Jack.
• If you don’t have keto-friendly sandwich rolls, you can serve the casserole over cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps.
• To save time, you can use pre-sliced steak and vegetables.
• Make sure your steak is thinly sliced for the best texture. Freezing it for a short time makes it easier to slice thinly.
