Description
A delicious one-pan meal that fits into a low-carb lifestyle, packed with protein and veggies for a satisfying dinner.
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 the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart into small crumbles. Cook until the beef is deeply browned, about 6–8 minutes.
- Push the beef to one side of the skillet. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the other side. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the broccoli florets, tossing them gently with the beef mixture.
- Season everything with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly to coat.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
- Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, adding Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the skillet to achieve good browning. Avoid overcooking broccoli to keep it crisp.
