Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs lean ground beef
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 small yellow onion, sliced or diced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded Colby Jack or provolone cheese
4–6 servings cooked basmati rice (or cauliflower rice for low-carb)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then add the diced green bell pepper, sliced onion, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack or provolone cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture.
If your skillet is oven-safe, place it under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, cover the skillet with a lid for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
To meal prep, divide the cooked basmati rice (or cauliflower rice) among 4-6 meal prep containers. Top each with a generous serving of the cheesy ground beef and vegetable mixture.
Allow the bowls to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
