Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even cooking and crumbles.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Once the beef is browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets, mixing well to combine them evenly with the beef and onion mixture.
  4. Season the Mixture: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder over the skillet contents. Stir thoroughly to coat everything with the seasonings.
  5. Cook the Broccoli: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat, allowing the broccoli to become tender yet remain crisp.
  6. Add Cream: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to blend the cream evenly throughout the mixture, creating a rich texture.
  7. Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover again and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
  8. Optional Flavor Boost: If using, add Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes now. Stir well to distribute these optional flavor enhancers throughout the dish.
  9. Serve: Serve the skillet hot directly from the pan as a warm, satisfying one-pot meal ideal for a keto-friendly diet.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Use fresh broccoli florets for best texture; frozen can be used but may release more water.
  • Substitute cheddar cheese with other melting cheeses like Monterey Jack or mozzarella as preferred.
  • If avoiding Worcestershire sauce, substitute with soy sauce or tamari for different flavor variation.
  • This recipe is suitable for meal prep and reheats well in a skillet or microwave.
