Description
A delicious and creamy keto-friendly dish featuring ground beef and broccoli, topped with melted cheddar cheese.
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
- Prepare your ingredients by measuring out the ground beef, broccoli florets, and cheese. Wash and cut fresh broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until broccoli is tender but still crunchy.
- Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and add half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese melts and mixture is creamy.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, cover, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Choose ground beef with 80% lean meat and 20% fat for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Be careful not to overcook the broccoli; it should be tender yet crisp.
- Lower the heat when adding cream and cheese to prevent curdling.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
