Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cream cheese softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper

Topping

1/4 cup crushed pork rinds for crunch
1 tbsp butter melted, for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Steam or blanch broccoli florets for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add half of the shredded cheddar and all of the Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and combined into a thick sauce.
Combine broccoli and cheese sauce in a large mixing bowl, then transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
Mix crushed pork rinds with melted butter and sprinkle over the top for a crispy finish.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Serve warm as a rich holiday side.

Notes

For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits or sautéed onions to the casserole before baking. This dish reheats beautifully — perfect for holiday meal prep!
