  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until browned.
  2. Push the cooked ground beef to one side of the skillet and add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in 2 cups of broccoli florets, sauté the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to coat and adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes to steam the broccoli.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, scraping up brown bits from the skillet until mixed thoroughly.
  7. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet mixture. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
  8. If desired, drizzle 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle red pepper flakes before serving.
  9. Serve warm Keto Hamburger Broccoli Skillet directly from the pan.
