• In the same skillet, cook the chopped onions over medium heat until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 more minute.
• Add the zucchini and broth to the pan and cook until the zucchini is soft, about 5 more minutes.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low add the cream cheese and then sour cream.
• Add the beef back into the pan along with the salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently to combine.
• Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese over the top.
• Place the entire dish in the oven and broil for 2 minutes until the cheese is browned and melted. Or, add lid to skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts. Using the stovetop, your cheddar cheese won't be crispy, but it will melt.
