Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium size head of fresh broccoli
  • 1 cup of fresh chopped spinach optional, but why not add more nutrients
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream it ads a tang
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or two teaspoons of garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup of chopped onion or two teaspoons of onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled bacon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a casserole dish with butter or oil.
  • Steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain well to remove excess water.
  • Chop up the spinach.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, sour cream, garlic, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add 3/4 of the cheddar, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese to the creamy sauce. Stir well the cheese mixture.
  • Fold in the steamed broccoli, spinach, and optional bacon. Season with salt and black pepper. This mixture will be the broccoli mixture.
  • Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  • You can also leave a little bit of crispy bacon on the side, to top the casserole with it later so it stays crispy.

How to Make it in the Pressure Cooker/Instant Pot

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients as per the above instructions.
  • Transfer the ingredients to a baking dish that will fit into your pressure cooker or Instant Pot.
  • Add one cup of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Use a trivet to lift the casserole dish above the water level. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes on medium heat, then quick release.
  • Be very careful when removing the dish from the Instant Pot as it will be very hot.
