An easy and cheesy Cauliflower and Cheese recipe made in the crock pot. You won’t believe how cheesy this cauliflower is and it only requires about 5 minutes of hands on time.
Crock Pot Cauliflower and Cheese is full of cheesy goodness and your crock pot does practically all the work for you. Just 3 to 3 1/2 hours in the crock pot with a can of condensed cheddar soup, some evaporated milk, a little onion, salt, pepper, and paprika, plus a bunch of cheddar cheese is all it takes.
I don’t know about you, but I have the hardest time coming up with different side dish ideas. We tend to eat the same ones over and over. Green beans, peas, and corn get more than their fair share at our dinner table.
Cauliflower is something I hardly ever think to cook. Some people love cauliflower, others hate it.
But I don’t think there’s any denying that cauliflower and cheese were meant for each other.
I mean, just look at how perfect those cauliflower florets look bathed in cheese sauce.
Cauliflower is a great vegetable choice in the fall when it is in season, but to be honest, the quality of the cauliflower at my local market seems to be pretty consistent year round. That makes cauliflower a great choice anytime of year!

I’d love to try this! Do you have any suggestions on what temperature and a cooking time if I wanted to make this in an oven instead of a slow cooker? Thanks!
Cauliflower is now my new comfort food! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Has anyone tried this with frozen cauliflower? I am wondering if it will get too watery…
Made this today for easter dinner. Followed the recipe exactly. It took 5 1/2 hours, and the texture of the cauliflower ended up rubbery. I’d have to rate this a FAIL.
The recipe said 3-3 1/2 hours so was 5 too long? Was it too crunchy at 3? I was wondering myself
Good Morning,
I really love your website and recipies, I only have one question. On the recipies I am looking at, they say low carb but there are no carb values. Can you add carb, fiber values. I am what is called a brittle diabetic and must count carbs. Thank you for your time.

I’m looking for carb counts, too. Some of these ingredients are fairly high on the glycemic index.
This is NOT low carb.
wow looks amazing!! such a good idea, big fan of any crockpot recipe
Just made this tonight..If you doubel the recipe allow 6-6.5hrs cooking.. Mine is still cooking after 5hrs in the crock pot. Pieces are still hard 🙁
Would I be able to use frozen cauliflower instead? I have a hard time finding good fresh cauliflower that doesn’t have bugs in it, for some reason.
Yes, you should be able to use frozen cauliflower without any problems.
I followed the recipe exactly as is written, and it was delicious. No need to change anything. This makes a ver filling main meal with some crusty bread to scoop up the remaining sauce. Yum, yum.
Is there any way to cook on medium or high or will that change the outcome? I get off work too late to cook for the full 3 hours but would love to try it.
Ashley, I would be afraid that the sauce would curdle at a high temperature.
