Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein
- 1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef
Vegetables
- 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
Condiments and Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Dairy
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Base
- 2 cups cooked cauliflower rice or white rice
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: 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 to reduce greasiness.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the garlic to become fragrant.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Evenly layer the provolone cheese slices over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 60 seconds or until the cheese is completely melted and gooey.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or white rice into four serving bowls. Spoon the cheesy ground beef and vegetable mixture over the rice. Serve immediately for a warm, hearty meal.
Notes
- You can substitute white rice with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb, grain-free option.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste; additional hot sauce or red pepper flakes can be added for heat.
- Use a lid to melt the cheese evenly and quickly without overcooking the mixture.
- Lean ground beef is recommended to avoid excess grease. Drain if necessary.
- This dish reheats well and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
