First, 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.

You can top with crushed red pepper flakes if you choose! I sprinkle a few on mine and leave it off for everyone else….gotta make everyone happy, right?!?
