Main Ingredients
- 3 lbs lean ground beef
- 2 medium green bell peppers, diced
- 2 small onions, sliced
- 4 cups sliced mushrooms
- 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup beef broth
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack or provolone cheese
- 4 cups cooked basmati rice
Equipment
- Meal Prep Containers
- Ground Beef Subscription (optional, for sourcing meat)
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Dice the green bell peppers, slice the onions, and clean and slice the mushrooms. Set aside.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the sliced onions, diced green peppers, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir and cook until vegetables are tender and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Flavorings: Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Stir well to combine, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Incorporate Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack or provolone cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover skillet with a lid to let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook Rice: If not already cooked, prepare the basmati rice according to package instructions.
- Assemble Meal Prep: Divide the cooked basmati rice evenly into 4 meal prep containers. Top the rice with the cheesy ground beef Philly cheesesteak mixture.
- Cool and Store: Allow meal prep containers to cool slightly before covering and refrigerating. Meals can be stored up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content and keep the meal healthier.
- For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing vegetables.
- Substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a lighter flavor.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved depending on meal prep needs.
- To reheat, microwave covered for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
