Alfredo Sauce
Fry chopped bacon until crisp in a large oven-proof skillet. In the last minute add the garlic. Remove bacon and garlic and set aside.
Leave 3 tablespoons bacon fat in the pan. Place frozen broccoli in skillet and sauté over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes. If the pan becomes dry add a tablespoon of olive oil. Remove broccoli from pan.
Turn heat to medium and add cream and milk to the skillet. Stir occasionally until the milk has warmed and come to a simmer. Sprinkle in seasonings and add 2-½ cups cheese, reserving remaining cheese for the top. Whisk until cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.
