Hearty High-Calorie Meal Prep Bowls

1.Cook the brown rice according to package instructions and set aside.

2.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

3.Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat. Add the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes until heated through.

4.In meal prep containers, divide the cooked brown rice evenly among them.

5.Top the rice with the beef and bean mixture, ensuring each container has a generous portion.

6.Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each bowl while the mixture is still warm so it melts slightly.

7.If desired, add sliced avocado and a spoonful of salsa on top of each meal prep bowl for extra flavor and creaminess.

8.Let the meal prep bowls cool completely before sealing them with lids and storing them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
