Equipment

9x13 inch casserole dish
Large pot
Colander
Large skillet
Cheese grater

Ingredients

1 pound fresh broccoli florets
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) casserole dish with a bit of olive oil and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain well and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they're browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is well combined.
Arrange the drained broccoli in the prepared casserole dish. Pour the creamy mushroom mixture over the broccoli, ensuring it's spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Notes

For a touch of crunch, sprinkle some crushed pork rinds or almond flour on top before baking.

Feel free to add cooked chicken or bacon for added protein.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

This dish can be made in advance and refrigerated overnight before baking, making it a convenient make-ahead meal.
