Philly Cheesesteak Bowl
It is time to turn a traditional Philly Cheesesteak into the most epic Philly Cheesesteak Bowl! Plus, a creamy cheese sauce to drizzle on top!
Ingredients
Philly Cheesesteak Rice Bowl:
- 1 pound ground beef
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter sub plant-based butter
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 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
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: Bring a large cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef to the hot pan and break apart. Season meat with kosher salt and ground black pepper and move around the pan to fully cook. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon and drain excess grease.
- Cook Veggies: Using the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter and return to a medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Move around the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes or to your desired softness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Make Cheese Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium high heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1-2 teaspoons garlic to create a roux. Slowly add 1 1/2 cup half-&-half or creamer of choice, whisking continuously. Once it is all added, remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the shredded cheese, ground mustard, salt and pepper.
- Assemble Bowls: Evenly divide the beef, cooked veggies, and rice into individual bowls. Add your desired amount of cheese sauce on top and enjoy!
Notes
- *Creamer: option to use heavy cream or half-&-half OR lighten it up with a dairy-free option, like NutPods Unflavored/Unsweetened Creamer!
- Storage: leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Recommend storing the cheese sauce in a separate container to prevent sogginess and making it easier to reheat.
