Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 4 slices bacon cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3- ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese you will not use all at once
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Begin by adding the broccoli and cauliflower to a lightly greased 11x7 baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven and allow the vegetables to roast for 10 minutes while you prepare the cheese sauce.
  • Brown the bacon pieces over medium heat until crisp in a medium-sized skillet. When the bacon has browned, remove from the skillet and set aside. Drain off all of the bacon grease except about 1-2 teaspoons.
  • Reduce the heat to low, add the minced garlic, and saute until fragrant.
  • Add the milk, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese has melted completely. Stir in one cup of cheddar cheese until melted. Bring the cheese sauce to a slight simmer, stirring constantly until it has thickened.
  • Add half of the cooked bacon pieces to the roasted broccoli and cauliflower. Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables and top with the remaining shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes until the cheese has begun to brown on top.
  • Before serving, allow the casserole to rest 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese sauce to thicken, top with the remaining bacon pieces.
