Beef Bowls

Choose your own adventure meals are always a hit in our house. Give a little control to those who are eating. These beef (could be chicken or turkey) bowls are simple, easy to diversify and fun. They are a great make ahead option as well as catering to the most selective eaters of the bunch!

They can be easily changed up based on the flavour your choose with the meat. We will sometime season the meat with taco spice and have taco bowls or more of a Mediterranean theme. I just adjust the topping to suit the flavour of the bowl. I have included our most common version of this bowl today.

I would love to have you share your version and tag me on your social media or send it to me via email. I love seeing my recipes created!
