Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or plant-based butter
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Rice

  • 4 cups cooked rice

Cheese Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1–2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups half-&-half or dairy-free creamer
  • 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fully browned and cooked through. Transfer the beef to a bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving excess grease in the skillet.
  2. Cook Veggies: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add thinly sliced red onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are softened to your liking. Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  3. Make Cheese Sauce: In a separate saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and minced garlic to create a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Slowly whisk in the half-&-half or dairy-free creamer until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in shredded white cheddar cheese, ground mustard, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among serving bowls. Top with the ground beef and sautéed vegetables. Spoon the warm cheese sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy your Philly Cheesesteak Bowl!

Notes

  • You can substitute plant-based butter and dairy-free creamer to make the recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
  • Use cauliflower rice instead of cooked rice for a lower-carb option.
  • Adjust the seasoning of the cheese sauce to your preference, adding more mustard or pepper for extra zing.
  • The cheese sauce can be prepared ahead and gently reheated before serving.
  • For added spice, consider mixing in sliced jalapeños or hot sauce with the veggies.
