Ingredients
  

For the Skillet
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20) Provides rich flavor and protein; substitute with ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • 2 cups Fresh Broccoli florets Adds crunch and nutrition; frozen broccoli can be used; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped Enhances flavor with sweetness; yellow onions offer the best balance.
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced Offers robust aroma and taste; use garlic powder (1 tsp) as a substitute.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded Adds creaminess and richness; consider Monterey Jack as an alternative.
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil Used for sautéing and healthy fats; avocado oil makes a great substitute.
  • Salt & Pepper Basic seasonings, adjust to taste; important for enhancing the overall flavor.
Optional Add-Ins
  • Zucchini or Bell Peppers Swap out broccoli for a different texture and flavor; great way to mix up the dish!
  • Italian Seasoning Spice it up with herbs for a more Mediterranean twist; just a pinch goes a long way!

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients for the Hamburger Broccoli Skillet. Chop one medium onion into small pieces, mince three garlic cloves, and cut fresh broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  2. Heat two teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Push the sautéed onions to one side of the skillet. Add one pound of ground beef to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart, until evenly browned.
  4. Stir in the prepared broccoli florets, along with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let it cook for about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet mixture, cover the skillet again, and allow the cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve your Hamburger Broccoli Skillet hot, ideally alongside a vibrant green salad for a complete meal.
