Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 lbs lean ground beef Use lean to keep the dish healthier.
  • 2 medium green bell peppers Diced.
  • 2 small onions Sliced.
  • 4 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 4 tsp seasoned soy sauce Substitute low-sodium if preferred.
  • ½ cup beef broth Use low-sodium if needed.
  • 2 cups shredded Colby Jack or provolone cheese
  • 4 cups cooked basmati rice Use cooked rice for convenience.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If rice is uncooked, prepare according to package directions, then fluff and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and sauté the sliced onions, diced green peppers, and sliced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until soft.
  3. Wipe the skillet if needed and return to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it into pieces. Cook for 6-8 minutes until evenly browned.
  4. Stir in the seasoned soy sauce and beef broth, scrape the bottom of the pan, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the sautéed veggies back into the skillet with the beef, mix well, and warm through.
  6. Sprinkle cheese over the mixture, cover with a lid, and cook on low for 2-4 minutes until melted.
  7. Divide rice into meal prep containers, spoon cheesesteak mix over rice, and cool before sealing.
