Are you looking for a super fast and easy low-carb keto-friendly lunch? These bacon ranch lunch meat roll-ups will be your new go-to recipe and can be customized with all your favorite fillings!
These lunch meat roll-ups use simple ingredients you probably already have at home. They can be customized with all your favorite fillings, are super fast and easy to make, and are surprisingly filling.
They also easily fit into your macros because they are extremely low-carb and have protein and plenty of healthy fat from the cream cheese.
While I love making sandwiches (or these hawaiian roll sliders from This Vivacious Life) with keto sandwich bread, 90-second bread, or with store-bought Carbonaut bread, I don't always have bread on hand and there's just something so fun about these keto roll-ups!
These have become my new go-to easy lunch and I'm sure they will quickly become your new go-to keto lunch tool!

Ingredients
Here are the easy ingredients to make keto pinwheels:
- Deli Meat: Choose large, thick-cut deli meat that doesn't fall apart easily. While roast beef can be used, it tends to fall apart. I prefer ham or turkey.
- Cream Cheese: Be sure to soften it so it spreads easily. You can set it on the counter or place it in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds to soften.
- Ranch Seasonings: A simple combination of garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and dill.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar cheese pairs perfectly with the bacon ranch flavor. However, feel free to use any kind you prefer. Also, feel free to use thinly sliced block cheese or sliced cheese.
- Bacon: Because everything is better with bacon!
- Dill Pickles: Whole pickles that have been quartered or thinly sliced lengthwise. I like to buy some with a little bit of spice!
Easy instructions
Here are the easy instructions to make keto roll-ups:
Step #1: Stir the ranch seasonings into the softened cream cheese. Spread onto a slice of deli meat.
Step #2: Sprinkle on some shredded cheddar cheese.
Step #3: Add bacon.
Step #4: Add one or two sliced pickle spears.
Step #5: Roll up tightly.
Step #6: If you plan on slicing them, place them in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour to set up. Then, slice and serve!
