Ingredients
  

For the Skillet
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Lean ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter option.
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets Fresh or frozen works perfectly.
  • 1 medium Onion Yellow or white onions are ideal.
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic Fresh is best, but garlic powder is a good substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Any cooking oil may suffice.
  • 1 tsp Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Freshly cracked is recommended.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Optional if using fresh garlic.
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder Can be omitted if onion is included.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Substitute with Monterey Jack for a different flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Can be swapped with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in olive oil. Once shimmering, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 6–8 minutes until browned.
  2. Push the cooked ground beef to one side of the skillet. In the empty spot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Stir for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  3. Fold in the broccoli florets, sautéing for a couple of minutes until they begin to soften while soaking up the savory juices.
  4. Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring thoroughly. Cook for an additional minute.
  5. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 5–7 minutes on medium-low heat until the broccoli is tender.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Carefully stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and let it melt for about 2–3 minutes.
  8. If desired, drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the melted cheese and sprinkle red pepper flakes. Adjust seasonings as necessary.
  9. Spoon the Keto Hamburger Broccoli Skillet into bowls and serve hot.
