Description

Easy and delicious Keto Hamburger Broccoli Skillet recipe with simple ingredients and step-by-step instructions for a low-carb, high-protein dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20)
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and brown thoroughly. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain excess fat if desired.
  3. Add broccoli florets and pour in beef broth. Cover to create steam and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  4. Remove lid and stir to combine beef and broccoli. If dry, add a splash more beef broth.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in heavy cream, and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add shredded cheddar cheese and cover until melted.
  6. Let stand for 2 minutes before serving. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or additional cheese.

Notes

  • For best storage, allow leftovers to cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze portions for up to 1 month, thawing overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • You can use frozen broccoli, but steam it first before adding to the skillet for better texture.
  • Optional additions: crushed red pepper flakes for spice, or cream cheese for a richer sauce.
