Ingredients
  

Main 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 Optional for creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Optional for flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes Optional for heat

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Push the beef to one side of the skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic to the other side, and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in the broccoli florets, tossing with the beef mixture, and sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then stir to coat everything evenly.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet crisp, stirring halfway through.
  7. Lower the heat, pour in the heavy cream, and stir gently to combine.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and cook for 2-3 minutes until melted.
  9. Optionally, drizzle Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
  10. Serve hot directly from the pan.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for about a month. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of cream if necessary.
