What you need
Steps
Set out your big bowl and 25 clean containers so everything is ready before you start cooking.
Brown the 9 lbs of 96/4 ground beef in the pan. Season with 20 g paprika, 16 g garlic powder and 15 g all purpose pepper and salt seasoning, then put the lid on and let it cook through.
Cook the 3 bags of pasta in a large pot of salted water until tender. Drain it well.
Add 32 oz diced peppers and 16 oz chopped radish to a pan with about 8 g butter and 8 g garlic and herb seasoning. Cook until softened.
Drain the cooked beef and tip it into the big bowl. Add the drained pasta and the cooked peppers and radish.
Stir in 32 oz freshly chopped tomatoes and 3 bags of shredded mozzarella until everything is evenly mixed.
Spoon the mixture into the 25 containers, filling each one evenly.
Let the containers cool, then seal and store them in the fridge or freezer.
Tips and common mistakes
Use 96/4 lean beef so each portion stays around 500 calories with 48 g protein.
Drain the beef well before mixing or the containers will turn greasy and soggy.
Cool the food before sealing the lids so condensation does not build up.
Freeze half the containers if you will not eat all 25 within a few days.
Questions
How long do these meal prep bowls last?
Keep them in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days, or freeze portions for up to 2 to 3 months and reheat when needed.
Can I use a different pasta or protein?
Yes. Any pasta shape works, and ground turkey or chicken can replace the beef, though the protein and calorie numbers will change.
How do I reheat a portion?
Microwave from frozen or chilled until piping hot, stirring halfway. Add a splash of water or sauce if it looks dry.
