JENNIFER’S TIPS
A 3 ounce portion of pork loin (without seasoning) is: 206 calories / 12g fat / 4.4g sat fat / 0 carbs / 23g protein
Nutrition will vary depending on the brand of rub and BBQ sauce you use.
Most pork loins are around 5 pounds so I like to make the pulled pork and then freeze half of it for future recipes. You can freeze it for up to 6 months in a freezer safe container.

https://jenniferbanz.com/cheesy-keto-broccoli-bacon
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 8
INGREDIENTS
* 1 Pound Broccoli Florets
* 3 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
* 1 Cup heavy whipping cream
* 1 teaspoon Mustard Powder
* 2 cloves Garlic, minced
* 1 Pound Bacon, cooked and crumbled
* Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Cheese Sauce:
* In a heavy bottom sauce pan, heat your cream over medium heat.
* Add your mustard powder and minced garlic. Let cook for a few minutes.
* Add 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the cream mixture. Turn heat down to low and whisk until melted completely. Remove from the heat and set aside.
* Salt and pepper to taste.
Assembling the Casserole:
* Take your broccoli florets and place them in a microwave safe bowl with a little water. Add 1 tsp of salt and place in microwave for about 2 minutes. Just enough to take the crispiness out of the broccoli. Set aside.
* Preheat your oven to 400F.
* Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Add the broccoli to the casserole dish, covering the bottom of the dish. Then add your crumbled bacon, making a layer on top. Leaving some aside for garnish.
* Pour the cheese sauce evenly on top of the broccoli and bacon. Sprinkly the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole. Add your left over bacon on top as garnish.
* Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Serve.
JENNIFER’S TIPS
* Bacon – I uses a thin bacon that was 50 calories per slice.
* How to make this with chicken – I think using a rotisserie chicken and mixing in the the cooked chicken with the broccoli before adding in the cheese sauce would be delicious. You could also cook 2 chicken breast and shred them for the casserole.
* Can this be made with frozen broccoli? – This is best with fresh broccoli but frozen can definitely be used. Let the broccoli thaw, but do not steam it before baking it in the casserole.
