Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 work well)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 pound fresh broccoli)
- 1/2 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack blend
- Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat
Instructions
- 1. Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- 2. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain off any excess grease, leaving about a tablespoon in the skillet for flavor.
- 3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- 4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- 5. Add the broccoli florets, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. If using, add the pinch of red pepper flakes now.
- 6. Stir everything to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
- 7. Uncover the skillet and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the beef and broccoli mixture.
- 8. Cover the skillet again and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- 9. Stir gently to incorporate the melted cheese into the dish, or serve as is with the melted cheese on top.
