Start by cooking your bacon in a skillet or in the oven until done. Then place on a paper towel lined plate, and then once grease has come off, chop.

Then in a pot you will steam your broccoli for 5 minutes. Then run the broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking process. Or if using frozen broccoli, skip this step.

Then in a new pan, you will add your butter and let it melt. Once melted, whisk in the flour, and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes. This will remove the flour flavor but help create the roux.

Now whisk in the milk and cream, whisking continuously. Set stove to medium high heat, and stir non-stop. Wait for the mixture to thicken.

Now stir in 2 cups of your shredded cheese, ranch dressing, and the diced up cream cheese. Stir until fully melted and mixed.

Toss in the broccoli and coat all the broccoli.

Pour into the greased 9x13 pan, and then top with the remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is nice and golden brown on top. Let sit 10 minutes before you dish up the broccoli casserole.
