Step 1: Prep Everything First
Before the stove comes on, make sure everything is ready. Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets if you’re using fresh. Measure out the spices, shred your cheese, and keep the cream nearby.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it browns.
When it’s no longer pink and starts to get a golden crust, you’re good. If there’s excess fat in the pan, drain it carefully.
Step 3: Add Broccoli and Seasoning
Toss in the broccoli florets. Stir everything together, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Let it cook for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4: Make It Creamy and Cheesy
Reduce the heat to low. Add the heavy cream and half of the shredded cheddar. Stir well to melt the cheese and let it all come together in a creamy, cheesy sauce.
Once it’s smooth and velvety, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover the skillet, and cook for 2–3 more minutes—just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
