I love a good casserole especially when it’s creamy and cheesy like this keto spinach & broccoli cheese casserole. This is one of those low carb side dishes that you can serve with just about anything or you can add a little cooked chicken or ham and have a full meal!

What’s In This Keto Broccoli Casserole

I originally wanted this to be just a keto broccoli cheese casserole but added spinach at the last minute to make it a bit fuller. The ingredients are broccoli, spinach, mayo, cream cheese, onion powder, garlic, cheddar and mozzarella.

A note about the broccoli and spinach. I used frozen broccoli and microwaved it to help melt the cheese and wilt the fresh spinach.

Did you know 1 1/2 lbs of fresh spinach is equivalent to a 10 oz package of frozen spinach? I used fresh spinach because it wouldn’t shrink as much and I could use less.

Let’s Make This Keto Spinach &
Broccoli Cheese Casserole!

First thing I did was cook the broccoli in the microwave according to the instructions on the package. Then I mixed it with the cream cheese, mayo, spices, cheddar cheese and chopped fresh spinach.

Because it was hot, it melted the cream cheese and wilted the spinach so it looked like the picture below.

If you are using fresh broccoli, chop it up and microwave it for 5 minutes so you can have the same effect.

Smooth the mixture in a baking dish and then sprinkle the mozzarella on top. I like using mozzarella because it gets brown and bubbly on top.

Then all you have to do is bake the broccoli casserole for 30 minutes in a 350°F oven until everything is nice and browned like the photo below.

Recipe Tips & Notes

• I used frozen broccoli that I cooked in the microwave first. When I mixed the cooked broccoli with the cheeses and spinach it melted them nicely. If you want to use fresh broccoli just microwave it first for 5 minutes so you get the same effect.
• If you want to use frozen spinach too, you want to cook and squeeze out as much water as possible. Because fresh spinach shrinks so much, you will use much less spinach – about 1/2 cup.
• If you want to make this more of a main dish you can mix a cup or two of cooked chopped chicken or ham for a keto cheesy casserole main dish.
• Freeze double portions for easy keto lunches.

I really enjoyed this keto broccoli cheese casserole because it’s such comfort food for me. Next time I’m adding cooked rotisserie chicken for my main dish. Enjoy!
