How to Make Low Carb Cheesy Broccoli Casserole Making this cheesy broccoli casserole is pretty simple. The first thing to do is preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a casserole dish with non-stick spray. Then, if you are starting with fresh broccoli, you’ll want to parboil or steam it.
Wash and chop the head of broccoli into small florets. Then, in a large pot of boiling water, boil the broccoli florets for 4-5 minutes, until crisp-tender. While the broccoli is cooking, you can start making the sauce. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the broccoli, and stir to coat. The sauce will be quite thick, but it should loosen up when you add the broccoli. If it still seems too thick, you can thin it out a bit with some heavy cream or chicken stock. If you wanted to add some extra Parmesan cheese or almond flour to make a crunchy topping, now is the time to add it.
