Keto Cheese Steak Pizza Pocket Recipe
Got a craving for a meaty, cheesy, melting gooey and sloppy food truck sandwich? Then you NEED to make this Keto Cheese Steak Pizza Pocket Recipe pronto!
The fathead dough crust is a perfect substitution for a regular roll. Who knew you could enjoy this iconic sandwich, but completely keto-friendly/low carb?!?!? It tastes too good to be true.
I grew up just south of Seattle, Wa. My “stomping grounds” as you could call it. I spent most of my 20’s around downtown, Pike Place Market, DICK’s Drive-Inn and Pioneer Square. Late nights and LOTS of fun, I’ll leave it at that. Seattle was an amazing adventure for food.
Fresh seafood, dive bars, Mom’ n Pop shops and vendor carts. Of course, the iconic Seattle Dogs and the food trucks! Ohh… the food trucks! My favorite was always a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. The GREAT DEBATE: With Wiz or Classic Provolone/Swiss (depending on who was grilling that evening- usually their choice).

I know, Seattle isn’t Philly.. but this is what I grew up with. The two best food choices in the world (all time, for me). So, as the late, late hours of the evening were approaching, decisions had to be made. With only minimal cash remaining in my pocket, Seattle Dogs were usually on every main corner and cheaper. BUT, I made sure to make up for it on many day trips carefully planned out.
My version of this loved cheese steak sandwich would be in comparison to a “Deluxe”. Provolone, seasoned steak strips fried in grease, creamy cheese sauce, sauteed onion, bell pepper and mushrooms with melted swiss on top. You are drooling now, aren’t you?! Grab a napkin, because now you can drool all over the pictures you are about to scroll through!

I’ve also skipped the crust and made this version of a delicious Philly, check this out!
Very good. I modified a bit. Didn’t have time to make cream sauce so just used provolone on top and bottom. Kids liked it as well. Hopefully it heats well for leftovers.
