1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Heat a skillet over medium-high and sauté sliced onions, peppers, and mushrooms until tender. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pan, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
3. Season the beef with garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Return the vegetables to the pan, stir together with beef, then top with mozzarella or provolone. Cover to melt.
5. While the beef mixture finishes, prepare the rice according to package instructions.
6. Assemble bowls with half rice, half beef mixture, and sprinkle cheddar cheese over the rice.
7. Store in containers and refrigerate or freeze for later.
Notes
Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb variation.
Store in airtight containers and reheat with a splash of water to keep rice moist.
