Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 3 cups cauliflower florets (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
In the same skillet used for the sausage, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cream cheese and whisk until smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and fully incorporated. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the broccoli, cauliflower, and sausage in the baking dish. Gently toss to combine.
Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top (optional) for an extra cheesy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious, low-carb cheesy smoked sausage casserole!
