keto Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Bake
This keto Broccoli cauliflower cheese bake is a great casserole that I threw together on a whim. It’s a mouthwatering, low carb side dish that goes great with chicken, turkey, or pork. I’m calling it keto comfort food.
This veggie dish is a total crowd pleaser that even your kids will love!
Cheesy Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole is the perfect side dish for any dinner or weeknight meal. Tender crisp veggies tossed in an easy homemade cheese sauce and topped with a salty crumb topping. One of the things that I love best about this dish is that the rich and creamy cheese sauce contains no “cream of” anything soup. It’s made from scratch in just a matter of minutes and then poured over the veggies and baked. I use a medium cheddar as I find it adds a good flavor without being to overpowering and the gouda makes the space extra creamy! However, you can use pretty much any type of cheese you like.
Just a couple notes: I added a jalapeño for a tiny kick, but it’s not spicy at all. I cooked it down with the onion. If you are following a strict keto diet, I would recommend subbing the potato chip topping for crushed Parm Crisps and using xanthan gum in place of the flour for a thickening agent.
