Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 cup cooked rice (either white or brown)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream of mushroom soup (or a homemade equivalent)

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for a crunchy topping)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures that the oven is ready once you're done assembling the dish.

    In a large oven-safe skillet or pan, place the ground beef over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the meat is thoroughly browned and no longer pink. If there is excess fat, drain it to keep your dish leaner.

      Once the beef is cooked, add the fresh broccoli florets directly into the skillet. Next, mix in the cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir everything together until all ingredients are well combined and the broccoli is evenly distributed.

        Remove the skillet from heat and generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the beef and broccoli mixture, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

          If you enjoy a bit of crunch, now is the time to sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese layer for an added texture contrast.

            Carefully transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges start to turn a lovely golden brown.

              Once finished, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This waiting period helps the ingredients settle and makes it easier to serve.

                Serve warm and enjoy your hearty One-Pan Cheesy Beef and Broccoli Bake!
