Keto Broccoli Casserole Recipe
This easy keto broccoli casserole is the ultimate cheesy comfort food dish. If you’re not really a fan of broccoli, but know you should be getting more greens in your life, then this recipe is for you!
The broccoli becomes smothered in the cheesy cream sauce. Enhancing the flavour of the nutritious vegetable and working deliciously well together. (Check out this Easy Keto Broccoli Salad for more broccoli inspiration.)
With only 4 ingredients needed for the recipe, the dish miraculously comes together, bringing out the best in each low carb food and creating a crispy, cheesy masterpiece that’s low in net carbs.
In the video on this page, I shared the recipe for this easy Keto Broccoli Cheese Casserole along with what I eat during a full day of eating on my 3rd day back on Keto. (Again!)
The previous day I had a bit of a meat feast, so wanted a day of vegetarian meals to balance my week out. You can watch to see what I enjoyed during my full day of eating.
This easy recipe is a wonderful addition to your dinner table all year around but also makes the perfect side dish for your holiday meal that will please the entire family.
How To Cook A Keto Broccoli Casserole
To make this easy keto recipe, fill a baking dish or casserole dish (like this one) with frozen or fresh broccoli florets. Ideally chopped around the same size, so they cook evenly.
The smaller you chop the broccoli, the quicker it will take to cook and crisp up. You can pre cook or quickly make steamed broccoli if you’d like, but I tend to skip this step to save on time. (And washing up!)
Then, pour over the sour cream and cream. Use any cream which is easy to pour, so that would ideally be single or pouring cream, but you could also use heavy cream for a rich, indulgent casserole.
If you only have double cream, then you can use that instead, just give it a good stir to loosen it up a bit.
Mix the creams through the broccoli until every stem is coated in sauce. Once well mixed, mix about a third of the cheese through the broccoli and top the dish with the rest of the cheese.
I chose to use a mix of Parmesan Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese, but feel free to use your cheese of choice such as sharp cheddar cheese. And, I counted the cheese as 1 ingredient, because I’ve made this before with just one cheese.
But, in this instance went a bit crazy and used two in the cheese mixture. Feel free to use more than two and you could create a 3, 4 or more cheese Keto Broccoli Casserole.
All that’s left to do is bake in your oven, preheated to 180C/350F, for 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp and cheesy to your liking.
My whole family can’t get enough of the cheesy goodness of this delicious side dish, so it’s perfect perfect if you have picky eaters in your family who aren’t usually fans of vegetables – especially broccoli.
More Simple Ingredient Ideas
You can really choose your own adventure and go beyond the 4 ingredients in this keto casserole recipe to create the cheesy broccoli casserole of your dreams.
Here are some ideas for more low carb ingredients you can include that are easy to find at a grocery store:
Cheese – as I mentioned, you can include whatever cheese you like in your homemade cheese sauce, and you could also mix through full-fat cream cheese or mascarpone cheese for an even more creamy cheese sauce.
Vegetables – include other keto diet friendly vegetables like cauliflower florets, mushrooms, onion, whole or minced garlic, asparagus, zucchini or cabbage.
You may have to quickly fry the vegetables to soften first if you use vegetables like mushrooms, onion, garlic or cabbage.
Chicken – create a keto chicken broccoli casserole by adding in a little cooked chicken breasts, chicken thighs or rotisserie chicken for an easy way to turn the dish into a whole meal.
Tomato Sauce – I’ve been blending a tablespoon or so through cheesy sauces lately to enhance the flavors in a low carb way.
Herbs & Spices – salt, black pepper, oregano, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder or your herbs or spices of choice can be added to flavor the casserole.
This Keto Broccoli Casserole could be enjoyed as a main dish on it’s own or served as small portions a side dish with your favourite quick Keto Dinner.
