This keto friendly cauliflower broccoli casserole is the perfect side dish to have on the dinner table. Loaded with bacon, cheddar cheese, and sour cream you won’t even miss the potatoes in this dish!
I really miss eating potatoes on the keto diet, but thankfully I’ve had cauliflower and broccoli to replace them, and it’s been working out well. Cauliflower is great as a mash, if you remember my Cauliflower Mash recipe, and recently I tried it in this casserole along with some broccoli, and it was AMAZING!
It tastes just like a loaded baked potato minus the potato. I loaded it with crispy smoked applewood bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, and butter. Broccoli and cheese is already a classic combination so its kind of a no brainier that it worked. You can get all the fat you need with this recipe with very little to no carbs. Perfect for the keto diet.
