Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Cook for 6–8 minutes, until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
  2. Push the browned beef to the side of the skillet. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in 4 cups of broccoli florets. Sauté for 1 minute, allowing the broccoli to absorb the flavors.
  4. Sprinkle the mixture with a pinch of salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Stir well.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet still slightly crisp.
  6. Reduce heat to low and pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, stirring gently to combine.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  8. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
  9. Serve the Keto Hamburger Broccoli Skillet hot directly from the skillet.
