Description

This Macro-Friendly Ground Beef Philly Skillet is a quick, one-pan dinner packed with lean protein, veggies, and melty cheese. It’s flavorful, satisfying, and customizable for low-carb, gluten-free, or family-friendly meals.


Ingredients

12 oz white mushrooms, sliced or chopped (340g)

1 tsp salt, divided

¼ tsp pepper

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced or diced (200g)

½ large white or yellow onion, diced (200g)

1 lb extra lean 96/4 ground beef (448g)

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (15g)

2 frozen garlic cubes or 2 minced garlic cloves

1 cup provolone, sharp white cheddar, or mozzarella cheese, grated (82g)

Olive oil spray (for cooking)


Instructions

  1. Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Spray lightly with olive oil and let it heat for 1 minute.
  2. Add mushrooms with half of the salt and the pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add bell pepper and onion, cooking for 5 minutes until tender and fragrant. Stir often.
  4. Push veggies to one side and add ground beef with the remaining salt. Break up and cook until fully browned.
  5. Add Worcestershire sauce and garlic, then cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Turn off heat, sprinkle cheese evenly on top, cover, and allow to melt.
  8. Serve hot with toasted buns, baked potatoes, rice, or a low-carb option like cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash.

Notes

Swap cheese varieties to match your taste (provolone, cheddar, mozzarella).

For low-carb, serve over cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash.

Add extra veggies like spinach, zucchini, or tomatoes for added nutrition.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.

Reheat gently in the microwave or skillet with a splash of water to prevent drying.

Can be frozen up to 2 months if stored properly.
