No reviews

A hearty skillet dinner that combines rich beef with bright broccoli for a low-carb, comforting meal, ready in one pan.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula into small crumbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is deeply browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Once the beef has developed a golden crust, push it to one side of the skillet. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the empty space and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic turns fragrant.
  4. Stir in the broccoli florets, tossing them gently with the beef mixture so they’re evenly distributed and sauté for a minute to pick up those beefy juices.
  5. Season everything with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and stir thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated.
  6. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and allow the mixture to cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender yet still crisp, checking halfway through and stirring gently.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, letting the cream thicken slightly.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the beef and broccoli, cover the skillet again and cook for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
  9. If you’re using Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes, drizzle and sprinkle them over the melted cheese and give everything one final gentle stir to incorporate the extra layer of flavor.
  10. Remove the skillet from heat and serve hot, straight from the pan.

Notes

For best results, cook the beef until golden and cut broccoli into similar sizes for even cooking. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
