Beef, Potato, & Rice Savory Bowls

Protein: ~27g | Yield: 5 bowls | Prep: 10 min | Cook: 4.5–5.5 hours (High) Double Starch Balance: By using 3 potatoes and 1.5 cups of rice, you get a massive, filling base that stretches 1.5 lbs of beef across 5 full days while keeping the Black Angus protein around 24–27g per serving. One-Pot Success: The secret is the 2-stage cooking. Potatoes take longer to soften than rice; adding rice at the end prevents it from turning into a flavorless paste while the potatoes finish.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Initial Dump: Add the small beef cubes, cubed potatoes, frozen vegetables, and 2.5 cups of the beef broth to the crockpot. Mix in the seasoning packet.

Step 2

Cook Phase 1: Set to High for 3.5 hours. The potatoes and beef must be nearly tender before adding the rice.

Step 3

The Rice Phase: Stir in the 1.5 cups of dry rice and the remaining 1.5 cups of beef broth. Ensure the rice is fully submerged in the liquid.

Step 4

Cook Phase 2: Cover and cook on High for another 45–60 minutes.

Step 5

Final Check: If the rice has absorbed all liquid but still has a "bite," add a 1/2 cup of water and cook for 10 more minutes.

Step 6

Serve: Divide into 5 equal portions. The potatoes will be very soft and may slightly mash into the rice, creating a rich, thick texture
