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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove lid and stir to combine beef and broccoli. If dry, add a splash more beef broth.
- 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.
- 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.
