CHEESY RANCH BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER BAKE RECIPE



Cheesy Ranch Broccoli & Cauliflower Bake Recipe image

Provided by punk

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 16 oz bag frozen cauliflower
1 16 oz bag frozen broccoli
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2-3 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning (depends on your taste, I LOVE ranch)
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Thaw the cauliflower and broccoli. Preheat oven to 350. I like my veggies softer so I steam them in the microwave for about 5 minutes first (just place them in a bowl with a little water and cover, then microwave). Place butter in the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan and let melt in oven. Place the vegetables in the baking dish and sprinkle with the ranch seasoning. Cover with the cheese and bake 10-15 minute or until the cheese is completely melted. Very easy, simple and a good way to flavor the veggies for my low carbers out there.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli. If you only have frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your liking. Try adding other vegetables, such as cauliflower or zucchini. Or, add some chopped cooked chicken or bacon.

Conclusion:

Creamy Ranch Broccoli and Cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is cheesy, creamy, and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is both delicious and nutritious, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
