Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef 85/15 lean
  • 1 head broccoli cut into florets
  • 0.5 cup yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 0.5 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Large Skillet (Cast iron or non-stick)
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add diced onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Add broccoli florets to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
  5. If the pan is dry, add a splash of water. Cover with a lid and steam for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  6. Remove lid and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.
  7. Cover again for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For best melting results, shred your own block cheese rather than using pre-shredded bags.
