Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground beef with salt and pepper until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter and sauté onions and bell peppers until soft and slightly caramelized, about 7–8 minutes.
In a saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter. Whisk in flour and garlic to form a roux. Slowly add half-and-half, whisking until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese, ground mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble bowls by layering rice, ground beef, sautéed veggies, and a generous drizzle of cheese sauce.
Serve warm with extra toppings if desired.

Notes

Use shaved steak, ground turkey, or sliced chicken for variation.

Swap rice with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.

Add mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for extra veggies.

Provolone or mozzarella can replace cheddar for a milder flavor.

For dairy-free, use plant-based butter, milk, and cheese.
