How to Store

Once the rice bowl has cooled, you will want to store any leftovers in an airtight container. It is important to make sure it is stored in the refrigerator.

How to Reheat Peppers, Ground Beef and Rice

I like to reheat individual servings of the beef and rice in the microwave. If you are heating the entire batch and it is a lot more than a single serving, you can also reheat in a pot of the stove.

Can I use Cauliflower Rice instead of Rice

If you want to make this dish lower in carbs or if someone has a rice allergy, you can also make this recipe using cauliflower rice. Simply replace the rice and make sure to heat the cauliflower rice before adding the beef.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

If you wanted to make this so that you can freeze it, you can make this dish ahead of time. You would want to make the rice and the beef and peppers and then store it in different freezer bags or containers. Once you are ready to eat, simply thaw and reheat in the microwave or pan.

What temperature should ground beef be cooked to?

When you are cooking ground beef, you want to make sure you are killing the bacteria. This means cooking the ground beef to 160 degrees.

What is the best rice to use?

I usually use white rice, but you can use whatever type of rice you like. This dish will work well with brown rice or jasmine rice as well.

Can You Make This Dish with Ground Turkey Instead?

If you have ground turkey on hand or find it on sale, you can absolutely make this recipe using it instead. It is a great way to add different nutrition to the recipe or use ingredients you already have on hand.

    I enjoyed this meal I had doubled up on the meat so I doubled up on the seasonings which was a huge mistake i did low sodium soy and added the recommended salt It was quite salty but paired with the rice honestly wasn’t that bad. Now I know for the next time I make it I won’t double up the seasoning. Thank you 🙏
