Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Philly Cheesesteak Bowl ahead of time? Yes! This is a fantastic high protein meal prep option. Simply portion the beef and vegetable mixture into containers. For the best experience, add the cheese right before reheating or melt it on top during your microwave session.

What can I serve with this bowl to keep it low carb? To keep it low carb, you can serve this over cauliflower rice, zoodles, or even a bed of fresh spinach. If you aren't strictly low carb, it’s delicious over quinoa or brown rice.

Is ground beef the only option for this recipe? While ground beef is quick and budget-friendly, you can also use thinly sliced flank steak or ribeye for a more traditional texture. For a leaner version, ground turkey or chicken works surprisingly well with these seasonings!
