Can You Use Frozen Broccoli For Beef and Broccoli

Yes, in a pinch you can use frozen broccoli. Instead of cooking it after the ground beef, thaw the broccoli in the microwave then remove as much liquid as possible. Add broccoli to all other prepared ingredients and cook 2-3 minutes before topping with cheese.

Fresh is best as far as flavor and texture. But frozen will work if that’s what you have on hand.
