Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out the ground beef, broccoli florets, and shredded cheddar cheese. Wash and cut fresh broccoli into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add Broccoli and Seasonings: Stir in broccoli florets along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes until broccoli is tender but still retains a slight crunch.
- Create Creamy Cheese Mixture: Reduce heat to low, pour in the heavy cream, and add half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Finish with Melted Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Use fresh broccoli for the best texture and flavor, but frozen broccoli can be substituted if drained well.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt and red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- For a lower fat version, use leaner ground beef and reduced-fat cheese.
- Serve hot on its own or with a side of cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
