Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Steam 3 cups cauliflower florets and 3 cups broccoli florets for 5 minutes until just tender, then drain well.
  2. Step 2: Cook 8 chopped slices of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-7 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the skillet.

  4. Step 4: Add steamed cauliflower, broccoli, and crispy bacon to the bowl and toss gently to coat.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish, sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly on top, and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving for the casserole to set.
