Low-Carb Beef & Broccoli Pan (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound ground beef (80/20)
02 -
2 cups broccoli florets
03 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
Salt and pepper to taste
08 -
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
09 -
2 tablespoons heavy cream
# How to Make It:
01 -
Grab your beef, broccoli, and cheese. Rinse the broccoli and chop it into small chunks.
02 -
Warm the olive oil in a big skillet on medium heat. Toss in your ground beef and cook until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Break it up while it cooks.
03 -
Toss your broccoli chunks into the pan with the beef. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want a kick. Let everything cook together for 5-7 minutes till the broccoli softens but stays a bit crunchy.
04 -
Turn the heat down low and pour your heavy cream into the mix. Add half the cheese and stir until it all melts and looks creamy. Top with the rest of your cheese, put a lid on it, and let it cook 2-3 minutes more until the cheese gets all bubbly.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Go for ground beef that's 80% lean and 20% fat for the tastiest results.
02 -
Keep an eye on your broccoli - you want it soft but with some bite left.
03 -
Always turn down the heat before adding the dairy stuff to stop it from getting grainy.
04 -
Give it a quick taste and add more salt or spices if needed.
