Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs (dried)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the onion and garlic finely. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets if fresh. Measure seasonings and shred cheese so all ingredients are ready.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, break up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add chopped onions to the browned beef and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 more seconds to release aroma.
  4. Add Broccoli and Season: Mix in broccoli florets. Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs. Pour in beef broth, cover skillet, and steam for 5-7 minutes until broccoli is tender but crisp.
  5. Melt the Cheese and Serve: Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over skillet. Cover and let cheese melt for 2-3 minutes. Stir gently and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh broccoli for better texture and flavor; frozen works if thawed and drained.
  • Don’t skip browning the beef; it adds essential caramelized flavor.
  • Drain excess fat and avoid too much broth to prevent sogginess.
  • Add cheese last for a creamy melt without overcooking.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings during cooking as ground beef saltiness may vary.
