  • 1 cup Sliced Mushrooms Can be omitted or substituted with other mushrooms
For the Base

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water. Combine with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until water is absorbed.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Add 1 cup of diced bell peppers, 1 cup of sliced onions, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and golden brown.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Increase the heat to medium-high, break apart with a spatula, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of seasoned soy sauce and 1/2 cup of beef broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and let cook for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the sautéed vegetables back to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir thoroughly for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the mixture and cover for 1-2 minutes until melted.
  7. Assemble by dividing the cooked rice among 4-6 containers and spooning the beef and cheese mixture on top. Seal and cool before refrigerating.
