Ingredients
  

For the Skillet
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet with a lid
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the broccoli florets, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  5. Remove the lid and stir in the heavy cream. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Cover the skillet again for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute cauliflower for broccoli. For a different flavor, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. Colby Jack or mozzarella cheese also work well in this recipe.
