A rich and creamy one-skillet meal combining ground beef, broccoli, and melted cheese for a low-carb, high-fat keto dinner.
1 lb ground beef (80–85% lean)
3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
Optional: red pepper flakes, Dijon mustard, parsley
In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Season beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Steam or sauté broccoli until just tender. Set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add cream cheese and heavy cream to the beef, stirring until melted and smooth.
Add shredded cheddar and stir until fully melted and combined.
Fold in the cooked broccoli and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished as desired.
Use turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
Add mushrooms, spinach, or bacon for variety.
Reheat with a splash of cream or broth.
