This slow cooker cauliflower is rich and creamy and oh-so-cheesy. The ultimate low carb keto comfort food dish!
I am really loving my slow cooker lately. It’s usually one of those countertop appliances that I don’t actually keep on my countertop. It typically lives down on my pantry shelving in the basement, coming up once or twice a month. But these days, I make a recipe with it and clean it up and intend on hauling it back down stairs, only to discover another recipe idea in my head that requires it. My husband, who can be somewhat fastidious about uncluttered counters, gave up trying to get it out of the way because I was using it almost daily. Really, it’s been good to me lately, producing some easy and delicious food for my family.
The best slow cooker recipes are the ones where you just dump the ingredients in and walk away. This is almost one of those recipes. I say almost because you do have to come back and add the cheese at the end, and stir and then let it cook a tiny bit longer. But really, there’s so little work here and you end up with a super creamy, super flavourful low carb side dish.
And can I just say that the leftovers make a great breakfast? Bacon optional.

I am using my slow cooker a lot lately. I cook up enough meat to last us the week. I made your ginger bread cake recipe and it was fantastic. Beyond moist. I did have a hard time getting it out so next time I will line with parchment. Just bought a head of cauliflower so this will be on the menu this week. Thanks so much for the wonderful recipes.
Have you ever tried the slow cooker liners? They are wonderful! I use them all the time when cooking with my slowcooker. They are a plastic liner, so they probably wouldn’t stick. I love them because they save on clean up and you don’t have to use cooking sprays. You can find them in grocery stores usually beside the tinfoil, wax paper, cling wrap, ziploc bags, etc.
Oh my gosh, can you link me to those?
How much cauliflower did you use in this…roughly? Size of heads vary too much – sm, md, lg, or est of oz or cups would be cool.
Thx
Medium.
Thanks for another outstanding recipe. We needed a new slow cooker, after 15 years it up and quite, purchased an Instant Pot it’s a slow cooker, rice cooker, pressure cooker, yogurt maker all I can say is Best purchase we have made other than Wolf oven. Have used all of the functions mentioned, yogurt is great never buying it again. Pot is traveling as we head out in the travel trailer.
This recipe is un-be-liev-able. I tried it on the weekend and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I have two more cauliflower cut up in the fridge ready for another go.
I used to miss mac & cheese. I would take the pepper jack cauliflower over mac & cheese any day.
I think the EXACT same thing. WAY better than mac and cheese! YUMMYLICIOUS!!!
I REALLY want to make this, but the link will not work for me.
It works for me. Try a different browser?
I really want to make this but only have frozen cauliflower at the moment. Do you think that will work or will it get too mushy in the crock pot?
I think if you were careful to watch it and cook it less, it would probably be okay.
This looks sooo good! Checking out the recipe now!
Hi Carolyn, quick question…. would you ever consider creating meal plans like “Peace love and low carb”???
I just can’t get enough of your food!! It’s so simple and such a variety. I know there are thousands of people that would pay same if not more that the other website…. just a thought….
Kindest Regards

It’s definitely something I am thinking about!
Yum indeed! Doubled this for a potluck…people were scraping the sides of the crockpot. Fantastic!
Tried this recipe out and while we both have very different ideas of comfort food this has us BOTH hooked! Very very delicious!
I know what I’m gonna cook this weekend ! Thanks for the share, looks delicious
Have you ever tried it with something other than whipping cream. Low fat milk or fat free milk? fat free cheese?
The recipe sounds wonderful
I have not because I believe in a low carb high fat diet. But you can certainly try. 🙂
How much cheese did you use for this recipe?
If you click through to the recipe, it tells you. 4 ounces of Pepper Jack.
Love this, have made it several times. Great sub for macaroni and cheese or scalloped potatoes. Definitely should be in contention for best of 2017.
It’s a popular one so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it on the list!
I didn’t have this cheese, so substituted sharp cheddar, but it was still very delicious. Great recipe!…and so easy…. My only problem was thinking ahead 3 1/2 hours before dinner to get it started.
Haha, I know. I have trouble thinking that far ahead too!
I’ve ben terrified to try any cauliflour recipes bc I just don’t care for califlour. However, this one caught my eye and I think I’m going to go for it.
