Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil, divided
  • 1 ½ cups broccoli florets
  • salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons drained pimentos, rough-chopped
  • 1 4-ounce can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • potato chips or cut-up veggies for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 
  • Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil or butter. Set aside. (Use more butter or oil if you need it.)
  • Season the broccoli florets with the salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, parsley flakes and onion powder. 
  • Arrange in a single layer in the cast iron skillet. 
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until roasted through and beginning to brown. 
  • While the broccoli florets are baking, brown the Cajun trinity of onion, bell pepper and celery in a saucepan. 
  • When the trinity is browned, add the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, or until fragrant. 
  • Stir in the tapioca starch, and cook for 1 additional minute, or until the starch browns slightly. 
  • Stir in the milk and cheeses. 
  • Remove the cooked broccoli from the oven, and let cool slightly. 
  • Rough-chop half of the broccoli into larger pieces, then place the other half of the broccoli in a food processor or blender. Pulse for about 30 seconds, or until the broccoli florets crumble. 
  • Stir the broccoli to the cheesy dip mixture. 
  • Pour into a small, greased casserole dish. 
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until bubbly and browned slightly. 
  • Serve hot with potato chips or cut-up veggies.
