Description
There’s something comforting about throwing a few ingredients into a skillet and ending up with a satisfying, flavor-packed dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let simmer for a minute to bloom the spices.
Toss in the broccoli florets. Stir and cook for about 5–7 minutes, or until broccoli is tender-crisp. If using fresh broccoli, add a splash of water and cover the skillet to steam slightly.
Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to coat everything in the cream.
Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar and stir until melted and combined. Simmer on low for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Remove from heat, garnish with extra cheese or chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot!
