Ingredients 1
- 6-8 Cups of fresh or frozen broccoli, I like the florets, but any will do fine.
- 1/2 cup of Keto friendly or Homemade Mayo.
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Ingredients 2
- 6-8 Slices of Bacon
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of shredded pepper jack, mozzarella or other favorite cheese
- 3-4 tbsp of fresh chives. (Dinner onions can be used, just chop up the green stems)
- Optional ingredients, olives, onions, sour cream, meat, pork rinds crumbled

Directions
Preheat oven to 400
- Cook your bacon to crisp and set aside to cool. I place mine on paper towels.
- Cook fresh/frozen broccoli (steam or boil) in a sauce pan but only to al dente. (just a minute or two) We don’t want soggy broccoli in our casserole. Drain/strain and drip dry and set aside for now.
- Crumble cooled bacon into pieces and divide into two portions.
- Combine Mayo, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese and half the cut up bacon.
- Place broccoli in your baking dish evenly (I used an 8 x 11 baking dish for 8 cups of florets)
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add any additional favorite seasonings now, I like Mrs. Dash or Italian seasoning, or basal.
- Spread the thick mayo/cheese mixture over the top of broccoli.
- Top this with the remaining shredded cheese and bacon pieces.
- Heat until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and garnish with chopped chives, olives, onions, sour cream, and/or butter. (LOADED)
