Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef (80/20 for extra flavor)
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
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it browns. Drain excess fat if needed.

  • Add Broccoli & Season: Stir in broccoli florets, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still slightly crisp.

  • Make it Creamy & Cheesy: Reduce the heat to low. Add heavy cream and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.

  • Final Cheesy Topping: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Cover with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

  • Serve & Enjoy: Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like parsley or chives.

Notes

  • Flavor Boost: Add cooked bacon bits or diced bell peppers for extra flavor.

  • Protein Swap: For a lighter version, substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.

 

  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
