Beef and Broccoli Bake

Ingredients

• 10 oz ground beef
• 3 oz butter
• 9 oz broccoli
• 4 oz cheese
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Rinse and trim the broccoli. Cut it into small florets. Take out a large frying pan and heat your butter. Brown the ground beef on medium-high heat and season it to taste with the spices of your choice in the ingredients list. Reduce the heat to low and pull out a second frying pan.
2. In the second pan, on a second burner, fry the broccoli in 2 Tbsp butter for a few minutes. While it is frying, be sure to stir your ground beef to keep it from over-browning. Add the broccoli to the cooked ground beef and season everything with another dash of spices. Stir everything together to make sure that the spices have mixed through.
3. Take your broccoli and beef and place it into a casserole or au gratin dish. Top the beef and broccoli with your favorite shredded cheese and broil it in the oven for about four minutes.
