Ingredients

• 3 lbs lean ground beef
• 2 medium green bell peppers, diced

• 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

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cook the rice according to package directions if it is not already cooked. Set the rice aside while you prepare the rest of the meal.
2. Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the sliced onions, diced green bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms for 5 to 7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Step 3: Using the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, making sure to break it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
4. Step 4: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth with the browned beef. Let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the sautéed vegetables back into the skillet and mix well.
5. Step 5: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until the cheese has fully melted.
6. Step 6: Divide the cooked basmati rice and the cheesesteak mixture evenly into 8 meal prep containers. Allow to cool before storing.

Tips & Variations

• Use provolone cheese for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor or try mozzarella for a milder taste.
• Swap basmati rice for brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier twist.
• Add some garlic powder or smoked paprika to the beef for extra flavor.
• If you like it spicy, include some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

FAQs

Can I freeze this meal prep?

Instructions

1. Cook the rice: If not pre-cooked, prepare basmati rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender. Set aside.
2. Sauté veggies: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, diced bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and begin to caramelize, enhancing their natural sweetness. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
3. Brown the beef: In the same skillet, add the lean ground beef. Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the beef to keep the dish leaner.
4. Add flavor: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and beef broth into the browned beef. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the broth to reduce slightly. Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet and mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
5. Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack or provolone cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook until the cheese is melted, creating a creamy and cheesy texture.
6. Assemble meal prep: Divide the cooked basmati rice evenly among 8 meal prep containers. Spoon the cheesy ground beef and vegetable mixture over the rice. Seal the containers and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for convenient, ready-to-eat meals.
