Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Keto Hamburger Broccoli Skillet
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until melted, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, sautéing for about 2 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
  4. Stir in 2 cups of chopped broccoli, along with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and bright green.
  5. Pour in ½ cup of heavy cream and add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients, letting it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
  6. Once the sauce has thickened, taste for seasoning adjustments and sprinkle in some red pepper flakes for an optional kick.
  7. Garnish your Healthy Keto Hamburger Broccoli Skillet with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
