A quick and satisfying low-carb dinner, Keto Hamburger and Broccoli Skillet combines juicy ground hamburger and crisp broccoli for a nutritious, flavorful meal perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground hamburger (80/20 for best juiciness and flavor)
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broccoli: Wash and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Steam lightly or blanch in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and set aside to keep it tender-crisp.
  2. Brown the Ground Hamburger: Heat butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground hamburger, break apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as it cooks.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and chopped onion (if using), sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Combine Broccoli with Hamburger: Mix the steamed broccoli into the skillet with the hamburger mixture. Toss well to meld flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
  5. Optional Cheese Finish: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the skillet, then cover for a few minutes to let it melt into the mixture beautifully.
  6. Serve Warm: Spoon the skillet mixture onto plates or bowls, garnish if desired, and enjoy your hearty keto-friendly dinner!

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for juicier, more flavorful results.
  • Keep broccoli just tender-crisp to retain nutrients and texture.
  • Fresh minced garlic provides more vibrant flavor than powders.
  • Season gradually and taste to customize salt, pepper, and spice levels.
  • Adding cheese adds a savory, melty layer to the dish.
