Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef Mix

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

Base

4 cups cooked basmati rice

Instructions

Cook the rice: If not pre-cooked, prepare basmati rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender. Set aside.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
