- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Step 2: Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

- Step 5: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or white rice into four bowls. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture over the rice and serve immediately.
Tips & Variations

- Use other cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar if you prefer a different melt and taste.
- Try swapping the cauliflower rice with quinoa or brown rice for a heartier base.
- Adding sliced jalapeños can give the dish a nice spicy kick.
Storage
Store leftover cheesesteak mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep cooked rice or cauliflower rice separate if possible to avoid sogginess. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
