Keto Hamburger and Broccoli Skillet

This quick and easy Keto Hamburger and Broccoli Skillet is a delicious and satisfying one-pan meal, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients
  

  • * 1 pound ground beef 80/20
  • * 2 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • * 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • * 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • * 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • * 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • * 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • * Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes
  • * Optional: Sour cream
  • * Optional: Chopped green onions or parsley

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Stir in the garlic powder and onion powder and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. If using frozen broccoli, ensure it's fully thawed before adding.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined with the beef and broccoli.
  • Serve immediately. Top with optional crushed red pepper flakes, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped green onions or parsley, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or a splash of beef broth to the skillet along with the broccoli. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack. If you prefer a spicier dish, add more crushed red pepper flakes.
