Ingredients
- 2 pounds Broccoli Florets roughly chopped (approx. 8 cups)
- 1/4 cup Gluten-Free Flour like Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup Butter grass-fed
- 1 3/4 cups Sour Cream or Plain Yogurt*
- 2 1/4 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese freshly shredded
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground
- 1 sleeve Almond Flour butter or cheese Crackers about 30
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a medium sized rectangle baking dish (about 11x7) with olive oil or alternative cooking spray and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add broccoli and boil for 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, garlic powder and paprika and cook for several minutes until golden. Add sour cream/plain yogurt and bring to a simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheese (reserve ¼ cup for topping). Stir in salt and black pepper. Taste and add salt as desired.
- Pour cheese sauce over the broccoli and gently stir to coat. Pour into the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine crushed crackers with remaining melted butter and stir in the remaining cheese. Sprinkle cracker mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly and topping is browned. If topping isn't browned enough, place under the broiler for a few minutes.
- Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

To Freeze: bake and cool casserole completely, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Thaw in the refrigerator, then bake as directed in step 6.
