THE BROCCOLI THING

1. Brown the ground beef and Italian sausage together until cooked and a little crispy. Don’t scorch it… but also don’t baby it. You won’t need to drain it if you’ve cooked it properly.
2. Microwave the broccoli for about 6 min then drain any liquid chop it up, and add it to a 9×13 casserole dish.
3. Top the broccoli with the browned meat.
4. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, garlic paste, parmesan, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. Pour the sauce over the meat and broccoli and mix everything until fully coated.
6. Top with mozzarella cheese and a little extra Italian seasoning.
7. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until brown and bubbly.
8. Serve as-is or over rice — both are elite choices.
