Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream of mushroom soup (or 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)

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

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large oven-safe skillet or pan, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Stir occasionally until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the ground beef. Stir in the cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until evenly combined.

        Remove the skillet from heat and top the beef and broccoli mixture with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the top.

          If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese for an added crunch.

            Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.

              Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. This will help everything settle a bit.

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