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!

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, Christin! I’ve been trying to watch my carbs, and I miss mac and cheese so much. Can’t wait to give this a try!
Wow, the dish with the cauliflower is delicious. https://puzzle-jigsaw.com
canned cheese soup freaked me out, but my daughter had made alfredo sauce from organic ingredients and put it in the fridge so I decided to pour that over my cauliflower since it contained butter, cream and cheese.
Just curious about how much cauliflower ? My husband bought a medium size one, but after making into florets it looks a like a lot for a 4 quart crock pot.
My mother used to make this and then made Macaroni and Cheese with the extra cheese sauce then baked it for a little bit to get the crust on top of the mac ‘n’ cheese. We always liked it, had a few random pieces of cauliflower in it too.
Turned out great for me!
So perfectly cheesy. Love this recipe!
Do you use smoked or plain paprika?
I use plain, but smoked could be used instead.
