I made this recipe using my base recipe Low Carb Cheese Sauce. This sauce elevates anything you put it on. So good!

Now, some people don’t really watch what they eat during the holidays. I do. I don’t diet, but I always try to eat sensibly. This makes a lovely side dish for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s a great substitution for Broccoli Rice Casserole if you’re watching carb intake.

When you have recipes like this Keto Broccoli Cheese Casserole that tastes so good and is low-carb, it makes life a lot easier!

Perfectly cooked broccoli

The way you cook your broccoli is a personal thing and this recipe is really forgiving. I like softer cooked broccoli. Therefore, I like to blanch it before adding to the cream sauce.

What is blanching?

Blanching is a cooking process wherein a food, usually a vegetable or fruit, is scalded in boiling water, removed after a brief, timed interval, and finally plunged into iced water or placed under cold running water to halt the cooking process. Blanching foods helps reduce quality loss over time

Blanch your broccoli to the degree of doneness that you prefer. However, remember that it will cook more in the oven.

  1. Hi! Just came across this recipe for Keto Broccoli Cheese Casserole. Would love to try it. I have questions. Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh? I f so, would I need to blanch it? What can I use instead of pork finds?
    Thanks!
    Karen

    1. Yes, you can use frozen and I would blanch it first.
      Panko breadcrumbs, Coconut flour, Almond meal/flour or substitutes for breadcrumbs in the Keto diet.
      Or, omit them.
