Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (90/10 recommended)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow onion, sliced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

1. Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.

3. Add the ground beef to the same skillet and break it apart as it browns. Cook for about 6–7 minutes until no longer pink.

4. Drain excess fat if needed. Add minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1–2 minutes.

5. Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Stir everything together to combine.

6. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture and gently fold until melted. Remove from heat.

7. Assemble meal prep bowls by dividing the cooked rice among containers. Top with the beef and veggie mixture.

8. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before sealing and refrigerating.

Notes

Let everything cool before sealing containers to prevent soggy rice.

For extra flavor, season the rice lightly with salt and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.

Reheat on medium power to preserve the texture of the beef and cheese.
