# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound ground beef (80/20)
02 -
2 cups broccoli florets
03 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
→ Seasonings and Add-ins
04 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
Salt and pepper to taste
08 -
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
09 -
2 tablespoons heavy cream
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Grab your beef, broccoli, and cheese. Rinse the broccoli and chop it into small, bite-sized chunks.
02 -
Put your skillet on medium heat, drop in the olive oil, and throw in the ground beef. Cook it for about 5-7 minutes until it's no longer pink. Break it up with your spoon as you go.
03 -
Toss in your broccoli bits, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and those spicy flakes if you want them. Let everything cook together for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli gets tender but stays a bit crunchy.
04 -
Turn down the heat, pour in your heavy cream, and mix in half the cheddar. Keep stirring until all the cheese melts and everything looks nice and creamy.
05 -
Scatter the rest of your cheddar on top, put a lid on it, and let it cook another 2-3 minutes until all that cheese gets melty and bubbly.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Go for beef that's 80% lean and 20% fat to get the best taste and juiciness.
02 -
Don't cook your broccoli too long - it should stay a little crisp.
03 -
Turn down the heat before you add dairy stuff or it might separate.
04 -
Feel free to add more spices if you think it needs it.
