Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 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

Base

  • 4 cups cooked rice

Cheese Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1–2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 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 as it cooks. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Cook until fully browned, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked beef to a bowl, draining excess grease.
  2. Cook Veggies: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter and reduce heat to medium. Add the sliced red onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until they reach your desired softness. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Make Cheese Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and minced garlic to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the half-&-half or chosen dairy-free creamer, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Once fully combined, remove from heat and stir in shredded white cheddar cheese, ground mustard, salt, and pepper until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly into serving bowls. Top each with a portion of cooked ground beef and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle or spoon the warm cheese sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy your Philly Cheesesteak Bowl.

Notes

  • You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Use any dairy-free creamer in place of half-&-half for a lactose-free version.
  • Adjust the vegetables to your preference; mushrooms or jalapeños work great for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
