Ingredients

• 4 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Crushed pork rinds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until slightly tender but still bright green, about 4-5 minutes. Drain any excess water and set aside.

Step 3

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the cream cheese and stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked broccoli with the cheese sauce. Mix until the broccoli is evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top, and if desired, add a layer of crushed pork rinds for a crunchy topping.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and golden on top.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
