Broccoli Cheddar Casserole, topped with crunchy crushed Ritz crackers, was a staple growing up but is full of non-keto ingredients. Now, you can enjoy this classic dish in a completely keto-friendly way!

Notes: Feel free to change up the cheese, as desired. I used cheddar, because that's how I've always eaten broccoli cheese casserole, but a good quality smoked variety would be super nice in this dish. If you prefer florets to cut broccoli, just be sure to chop it into bite-sized pieces. For fresh broccoli, I would consider blanching prior to assembling the casserole.
