Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Steam the broccoli florets until they are tender but still bright green, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Gradually stir in 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika, adjusting to taste.
Combine the steamed broccoli with the cheese sauce and stir until the broccoli is well-coated.
Transfer the broccoli cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a main course with your choice of keto-friendly sides.
