Cheesy Ranch Broccoli And Cauliflower Casserole
Warm, hearty, and comforting—you won't want to miss this deceptively simple side!
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 ounces butter softened
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons dry ranch mix
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds plus 1 ounce melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Steam the broccoli and cauliflower until tender-crisp. If using frozen vegetables, steam in the microwave for just under the recommended time on the package. Drain all water from vegetables and set them aside.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add heavy cream. Let it warm up in the butter for 1-2 minutes.
- When the cream begins to bubble, add cream cheese and whisk continuously until melted.
- Add cheddar cheese, ranch mix, and salt, and whisk until completely melted.
- Add water to thin out the sauce.
- Put broccoli and cauliflower into an 8×8-inch square baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the top of the vegetables. Give a light toss to coat them evenly.
- Mix crushed pork rinds with melted butter. Sprinkle over top of the casserole.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
