Post by: Doug Varrieur on February 02, 2011, 09:02:01 AM

Cheesy Broccoli

1 cup broccoli florets and peeled cut stems if you wish
1/4 cup Alfredo sauce from a jar (several brands available buy lowest carb)
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste. (Taste first before adding salt)

Steamed version

1-Steam the Broccoli to your liking
2-Drain very well and pat dry, set aside
3-Using your saucepan over medium heat bring the Alfredo sauce and cheese up to heat whisking along the way till cheese is melted
4-Mix in the broccoli and serve

Baked version

1-Using your saucepan over medium heat bring the Alfredo sauce and cheese up to heat whisking along the way till cheese is melted
2-Mix in the broccoli and transfer to a small baking dish which has been well buttered
4-Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven

NOTE- To make the baked version even more luscious sprinkle some more shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the dish half way through the baking process.

Do we pre-cook the broccoli if we are baking it?  I am sure we could also substitute cauliflower too.

Not that this dish doesn't sound yummy enough already, but I think sprinkling some coarsely ground Pork rinds would just take this dish over the top!
