Main Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor) You can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
4 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces Frozen broccoli can also be used; thaw before adding.
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Can be replaced with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Gouda.
1/4 cup beef broth Chicken broth or vegetable broth can be used as a substitute.
1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter For frying the beef and aromatics.

Method

Cooking

Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Drain any excess fat from the pan, leaving about one tablespoon for flavor.
Add the diced onions to the beef and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
Pour the beef broth into the pan. Cover with a lid and let it steam for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the broccoli reaches desired tenderness.
Remove the lid and stir everything together.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover for another minute until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy!
