Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Dairy
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
Seasonings and Oils
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the beef.
- Brown the ground beef: Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Season it with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon paprika. Cook until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Cook broccoli florets: Stir in 3 cups of broccoli florets into the skillet with the beef. Cook together until the broccoli becomes tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add heavy cream and simmer: Pour 1/4 cup heavy cream into the skillet and mix well. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes to combine flavors and create a creamy texture.
- Add cheddar and melt: Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet contents. Cover the skillet with a lid and let sit until the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve hot: Once the cheese has melted, gently stir if desired, then serve the skillet hot for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
- Ensure broccoli is chopped into bite-sized florets for even cooking.
- This dish reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
