Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  3. Season the beef with salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for several minutes until they begin to soften.
  6. Reduce the heat slightly and add the cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until the cream cheese melts and forms a smooth sauce.
  7. Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
  8. Cook for a few more minutes until the broccoli is tender and the flavors blend together.
  9. Add red pepper flakes if desired and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Mushrooms can be added for extra depth of flavor.
  • Diced bell peppers provide additional color and a mild sweetness.
  • Frozen broccoli can be used; thaw and drain excess water before cooking.
  • Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or mixed cheeses can replace cheddar.
  • Add cayenne pepper, jalapeño, or extra red pepper flakes for more heat.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
