Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add fusilli to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 9-11 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return fusilli to the same pot, off heat.
Cut any large broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Add broccoli, 1 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp water (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with half the garlic salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Wrap baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, then roast in the middle of the oven until broccoli is tender, 12-14 min. Meanwhile, peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl).
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat (high heat for 4 ppl).When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beef, onions and remaining garlic salt. Season with pepper. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until lightly-browned and cooked through, 5-6 min.**
Add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pan with beef, then stir until melted, 30 sec. Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over beef mixture, then stir to coat, 30 sec. Add 1 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl), broth concentrate and tomato sauce base. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 1 min.
Once broccoli is tender, remove the foil, then push broccoli to the centre of the baking sheet. Sprinkle half the cheese over top. Return broccoli to the middle of the oven. Roast until cheese is melts, 1-2 min.
Add beef mixture and remaining cheese to the pot with fusilli, then toss to combine. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)Divide cheesy hamburger fusilli and cheddar broccoli between plates.
