This Keto Hamburger and Broccoli Skillet is a deliciously creamy, cheesy, and hearty low-carb meal! Packed with savory ground beef, tender broccoli, and melty cheddar cheese, it’s the perfect keto-friendly dinner
1 pound ground beef (80/20 for extra flavor)
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up as it browns. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Add Broccoli and Season:
Stir in the broccoli florets, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still has some bite.
Make it Creamy and Cheesy:
Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and add half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy and well blended.
Final Cheesy Topping:
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover with a lid and let cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
For an extra flavor boost, consider stirring in some cooked bacon bits or diced bell peppers.
You can swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter twist.
