Ingredients

Ground Beef
Savory and rich, ground beef forms the hearty base of this power bowl. Choose lean or grass-fed beef for a more nutritious profile.

Melted over the warm beef, cheddar cheese adds that creamy, slightly sharp comfort that makes this bowl so irresistible.

Eggs
Fluffy scrambled eggs contribute protein and a soft, luxurious texture that balances the chew of the beef.

Guacamole
Creamy guacamole brings healthy fats, a pop of color, and that unmistakable avocado flavor that ties everything together.

Brown Rice or Greens
A sturdy foundation that adds fiber and bulk, whether you prefer nutty brown rice or a bed of fresh greens.

Salsa or Hot Sauce
A splash of zing to enhance all the savory elements and keep things exciting.

Salt & Pepper
Essential seasonings that highlight and balance the natural flavors of the ingredients.

How to Make the Beef Cheddar Egg & Guac Power Bowl

Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, seasoning with salt and pepper as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a separate pan, gently scramble the eggs until just set. You want them soft and fluffy, not overcooked.

Step 3: Assemble the Base

Scoop brown rice or greens into your bowl to create the base. This is your canvas.

Step 4: Layer with Protein

Top the base with cooked beef and scrambled eggs. Spread them evenly for balanced bites.

Step 5: Add the Toppings

Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the warm beef and eggs so it melts slightly. Dollop guacamole on top, then drizzle salsa or hot sauce to your taste.

Step 6: Final Seasoning

Finish with an extra pinch of salt and pepper if desired, and your power bowl is ready to devour.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

If you’re in the mood to switch things up, this bowl offers plenty of room for variation. Swap the ground beef with ground turkey or shredded rotisserie chicken for a lighter protein. For a vegetarian twist, black beans or seasoned tofu can step in beautifully. Not a fan of cheddar? Try Monterey Jack, feta, or even a vegan cheese alternative. You can also swap the brown rice with quinoa, cauliflower rice, or keep it ultra low-carb with just greens. And when it comes to guacamole, a simple sliced avocado works in a pinch.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

This Beef Cheddar Egg & Guac Power Bowl is pretty complete on its own, but if you want to build it out into a fuller meal, consider pairing it with a side of roasted sweet potatoes or a tangy cucumber salad. It also goes great with a refreshing beverage like a citrusy sparkling water or a glass of unsweetened iced tea. To take it up a notch, serve it with tortilla chips on the side for a fun crunch.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers. The cooked beef and eggs will last for about 3 days in the fridge, while the guacamole is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored with plastic wrap pressed tightly against its surface to slow browning. Reheat the beef and eggs gently in the microwave or a skillet before reassembling the bowl. If using rice, reheat it with a splash of water to revive its texture.
