- You can incorporate frozen or fresh broccoli in this recipe. However, if using frozen broccoli, fully thaw and drain excess water to avoid a soggy texture.
- While sharp cheddar is ideal, you can substitute it with your preferred cheese blend to suit your taste preferences.
- Steamed broccoli can replace raw broccoli but reduce the baking time to prevent overcooking.
- Incorporate onion powder, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes for added flavor.
- For a crunchy topping, top the casserole with pork rinds or crushed almonds before baking.
- To create a creamy cheese sauce for the casserole, combine heavy cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese in a saucepan and combine until smooth.
