In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Sauté until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Ensure that the beef is well-drained to avoid excess grease.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Stir in the fresh broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they tenderize slightly.

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts and creates a creamy sauce.

Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
