Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
3 cups broccoli florets
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon umami seasoning (optional)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart.

- Add broccoli florets. Stir to combine.
- Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well.
- Cover skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
