Ingredients

Beef and Broccoli

  • 1 lb (450g) beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Seasonings and Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the casserole.
  2. Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides. Season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for rich flavor.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a baking dish, mix the browned beef, fresh broccoli florets, and heavy cream thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

  5. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the casserole hot for a satisfying keto-friendly meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with other keto-friendly cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack if desired.
  • To save prep time, pre-cut broccoli florets or frozen broccoli can be used; just ensure they are thawed before mixing.
  • This casserole can be prepared in advance and refrigerated; reheat in the oven before serving.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially if using salted cheese to prevent over-salting.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or fresh herbs like thyme.
