Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 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 cup 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

Butter

  • 1 tablespoon butter (or plant-based butter for substitution)

Instructions

  1. Cook Ground Beef: Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Stir and cook thoroughly until browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked beef to a bowl, draining any excess grease.
  2. Cook Veggies: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and return to medium heat. Add the thinly sliced red onion and both bell peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables reach your preferred tenderness. Remove from heat 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, creating a roux. Slowly pour in the half-&-half or dairy-free creamer while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Once fully incorporated, remove from heat and stir in shredded white cheddar cheese, ground mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Evenly divide the cooked rice, ground beef, and sautéed vegetables among individual bowls. Drizzle the desired amount of cheese sauce over each bowl and serve immediately for a warm, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with plant-based butter and use dairy-free creamer.
  • Leftover bowls can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave, adding extra cheese sauce if desired.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat for a leaner or vegetarian adaptation.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, depending on your preferences.
