Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet with the beef. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional red pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, try mixing in some cooked beef bacon bits or diced bell peppers.
- You can also substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- If you prefer a spicier version, increase the amount of red pepper flakes to taste.
