Ground beef, broccoli, and cheddar cheese create a savory, low-carb skillet meal ready in under 30 minutes.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 450 grams ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
02 - 300 grams broccoli florets
03 - 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese

→ Seasonings and Fats

04 - 15 millilitres olive oil
05 - 5 grams garlic powder
06 - 5 grams onion powder
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Black pepper, to taste
09 - 0.5 grams red pepper flakes, optional
10 - 30 millilitres heavy cream

# Instructions:

01 - Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets and measure all ingredients precisely for efficient workflow.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. Once oil is hot, add ground beef and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring and breaking apart until evenly browned.
03 - Stir in broccoli florets, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, ensuring broccoli remains crisp-tender.
04 - Lower heat. Pour in heavy cream and mix in half of the cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is completely melted and mixture is creamy.
05 - Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Cover the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.

# Notes:

01 - Utilize freshly cut broccoli for optimal texture. Avoid overcooking to retain a pleasant crunch.
02 - Choose ground beef with an 80/20 ratio for enhanced juiciness and flavor depth.
03 - Add dairy slowly over low heat to maintain a smooth, creamy consistency.
04 - Taste and adjust salt or pepper after cooking, as seasoning intensity can vary.
