Ingredients:

20 ounces fresh broccoli florets
16 ounces smoked sausage
8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups freshly grated cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup grated Parmesan

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add the broccoli to a large microwave safe bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 2 minutes.

While broccoli is steaming, slice the sausage into thin rounds and add to a hot skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is browned on the outside.

Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and mix well to combine.
Stir the cream cheese mixture and browned sausage into the steamed broccoli until well combined.

Transfer broccoli to an 8×8 baking dish and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.

Bake for 10 minutes.
