Ingredients List

For the Beef:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness or leaner cuts if preferred)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder for seasoning

For the Eggs:

2 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Rice:

1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option)
1 tsp olive oil or butter for fluffing

For the Toppings:

1 ripe avocado, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: hot sauce, salsa, or your favorite seasoning

Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Beef:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Cook, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and cooked through (about 7–8 minutes).
Season with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder) to taste. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Eggs:

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for about 8–10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Peel the eggs and slice them in half or quarters.

3. Prepare the Rice:

While the beef and eggs cook, reheat the cooked rice in a small pan with 1 tsp olive oil or butter. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains.

4. Assemble the Bowl:

Layer the rice in the bottom of a bowl.
Add the cooked ground beef, sliced eggs, and top with fresh avocado slices.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce or salsa for extra flavor.
