Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned.
  2. Push the cooked ground beef to one side. Add 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the empty side and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Incorporate 2 cups of broccoli florets into the skillet, stirring gently. Sauté for 1 minute to combine.
  4. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to ensure even seasoning.
  5. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet crisp. Stir halfway through.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, scraping browned bits from the skillet.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top and cover for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
  8. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle red pepper flakes over the skillet, stirring gently.
  9. Serve hot directly from the skillet and enjoy.
