Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 medium green bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1½ cups frozen riced cauliflower
- 8 ounces mushrooms, finely diced
- ½ medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Proteins & Dairy
- 1 pound lean ground beef or bison
- 5 slices provolone cheese (about 4 ounces)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Pantry & Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Cook Bell Peppers: Heat a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon olive oil and the sliced bell peppers. Season with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened with a char on one side. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. Remove peppers and set aside in a large bowl.
- Sauté Veggies: Add the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil to the empty skillet. Add riced cauliflower, diced mushrooms, and diced onion. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until veggies are tender and moisture evaporates. Add cooked veggies to the bowl with the bell peppers.
- Brown the Beef: Add ground beef to the empty skillet. Break into small pieces with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes until mostly browned. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and minced garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes until beef is fully cooked.
- Combine Ingredients: Return veggie mixture to the skillet with the cooked beef. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Melt the Cheese: Turn off the heat. Evenly sprinkle provolone and Parmesan cheeses over the skillet mixture. Cover with a lid and let sit for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Alternatively, if your skillet is oven-safe, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Enjoy the skillet as is or serve on toasted buns, over a baked potato, or with rice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef or bison for a healthier option.
- Riced cauliflower adds extra veggies and reduces carbs.
- If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be substituted.
- Be careful when broiling; watch closely to avoid burning the cheese.
- Feel free to customize with additional vegetables like zucchini or spinach.
