Equipment

  • 1 large skillet for cooking the ingredients

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  • Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in broccoli florets to combine with the beef mixture.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; stir to evenly coat ingredients.
  • Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until broccoli is tender but still crisp.
  • Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir gently to combine.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the mixture, cover, and cook 2 to 3 minutes until cheese melts.
  • If desired, stir in Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes.
  • Serve hot directly from the skillet.

Notes

  • Use fresh broccoli for best texture.
  • Substitute cheddar with your favorite cheese.
  • Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently to preserve creaminess.
