Ingredients
  

  • 1 c bacon chopped
  • 1 onion diced
  • 5 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 C Heavy Cream
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 1 c mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Start by browning your bacon. We love crunchy bacon, but, cook it how your family enjoys it. Once the bacon has cooked, remove and allow to drain on a paper towel.
  • Leave the bacon grease in the pan and sautee your onions for about 3 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
  • Next, add in your broccoli and garlic. Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is vibrant in color and fork tender.
  • Pour in the heavy cream. Be sure to reduce your heat to low and allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
  • Add in the cooked bacon.
  • Then top with either mozzarella or parmesan cheese that is shredded. Allow the cheese to melt for a few minutes or stick in the oven under the broiler to melt the cheese and the cheese turns a light golden brown.
