When I first tried making this beef pepper rice bowl, I didn’t expect it to become one of my go-to meal prep ideas. But here’s the thing, the combination of tender ground beef, sweet peppers, and fluffy rice feels like comfort food with a practical twist. I love how it’s hearty enough to keep me full yet easy enough to throw together on a weeknight. Sometimes, when life feels a little too busy, I reach for recipes like this one. It fits perfectly into rice meal ideas that don’t require fussing over the stove for hours. Honestly, it tastes like something I’d order from a casual spot, but I get the satisfaction of saying, yep, I made this in my own kitchen. The best part? It works for so many occasions—whether you’re looking for recipe meal prep for the week, testing out new meal ideas, or just pulling together quick ground beef meal prep recipes to keep in the fridge. And if you’re more of a chicken person, don’t worry, this bowl plays nicely with meal prep chicken recipes too.
