Hamburger Broccoli Skillet
The other night, I just needed a hearty, no-fuss meal to hit the spot, but I didn’t want to fall off track with my low-carb lifestyle. I had ground beef thawing in the fridge, half a head of broccoli left over from the night before, and just enough cheddar cheese to tempt me. That’s when inspiration struck: a one-pan keto-friendly skillet that would come together fast and satisfy that cozy-dinner craving.
I threw everything into my favorite cast-iron skillet and hoped for the best. What came out was pure comfort. The beef was juicy, the broccoli still had a little bite, and the creamy, cheesy finish pulled it all together in the most indulgent way—without the carb overload. It reminded me of those warm, cheesy casseroles from childhood, only now with a lighter, cleaner twist that still delivered all the flavor.
Since then, it’s become one of my go-to weeknight meals. It’s quick to whip up after a long day, requires minimal cleanup, and it’s packed with protein and healthy fats. My family didn’t even ask if it was “keto”—they were too busy going back for seconds.
If you’re looking for a fast, flavorful, low-carb dinner, this one’s a keeper.
