Introduction

This Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Bowl is a quick and satisfying twist on the classic sandwich, served without the bread. Loaded with tender bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, it’s topped with melted provolone cheese and served over rice or cauliflower rice for a hearty, flavorful meal.

A wooden bowl holds a colorful layered dish with three main parts. The bottom layer is white rice, peeking through in two sections on the right and under the other layers. On the left side, cooked ground beef mixed with green bell peppers and small bits of red pepper sits atop the rice, covered generously with melted yellow and white cheese sprinkled with green herbs. At the top, sliced bright red bell peppers add a fresh, crisp layer. The bowl is on a surface with a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef
2 large green bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 slices provolone cheese
2 cups cooked cauliflower rice or white rice

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Step 2: Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 3: Incorporate the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to low. Layer the provolone cheese slices evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 60 seconds or until the cheese is completely melted.
Step 5: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or white rice into four bowls. Portion the cheesesteak mixture over the base and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a lower-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of white rice.
Add sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Try using provolone or mozzarella cheese for different flavor profiles.
To keep vegetables crisp, sauté them separately and add at the end.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. If the cheese has hardened, cover while reheating to help it melt again.
