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

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula into small crumbles. Cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Push the beef to one side of the skillet. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the empty space and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in the broccoli florets, tossing with the beef mixture. Sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to coat evenly.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, until broccoli is tender yet crisp. Stir halfway through.
  7. Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently.
  8. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top and cover again for 2–3 minutes until melted.
  9. If using, drizzle Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top. Stir gently before serving. Serve hot.
