Our Keto Broccoli Cheese Casserole, Aka Broccoli Gratin is deliciously creamy and makes a great easy to make side dish. The sauce is rich, garlicky, and very addictive!
Fresh garlic is essential to give the sauce its brilliant flavor. Swapping it out for the jarred minced garlic just doesn’t have the same taste.
Ensure that you drain the broccoli really well, too much water in the dish will make the creamy sauce split.
