# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
02 - 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
03 - 1 medium onion, diced
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

→ Liquids & Dairy

05 - 1 cup beef broth (low sodium)
06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
07 - 2 tbsp olive oil

→ Seasonings

08 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
09 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning
10 - Salt and pepper to taste
11 - Red pepper flakes (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
02 - Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
03 - Add the diced onion to the skillet, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 - Incorporate the broccoli florets into the skillet, stirring everything together. Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender.
05 - Remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture. Cover again for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
06 - Stir gently to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you like it spicy, sprinkle on some red pepper flakes for an additional kick.
07 - Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or extra cheese if desired.

# Notes:

01 - This hearty one-pan meal is perfect for weeknight dinners when you're short on time but want something satisfying.
