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 basem*nt, 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 wasusing it almost daily. Really, it’s been good to me lately, producing some easy and delicious food for my family.
How To Make Keto Pepper Jack Cauliflower
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.

This is so tasty. My husband is not a fan of cauliflower, so the first time I made it, I cut the recipe in half. I won’t make that mistake again! He loved it!Reply
Sandi says
On the video you don’t add cream but it is in your recipe…so is it optional?

Carolyn says
It’s better with a little cream.

I cannot… because I haven’t tested it with those methods. 🙂

This recipe is the bomb!! I actually crave this!!! It is so good. I have used a mixture of Cheddar and Jalapeno cheeses, and it is still delicious!! I have even tried this with 3/4 cauliflower and 1/4 broccoli. Still delicious! THANK YOU for sharing your talent in putting ingredients together to make simple, healthy, AND delicious recipes!!Reply

Carolyn!!! This was amazing! I didn’t have 3 hours to slow cook it so I pressure cooked the cauliflower and then added the rest of the ingredients and let them slow cook on high until the rest of my dinner was ready. So good! We will definitely make this again! Thanks so much!Reply

Great recipe but then all the recipes you post are awesome! I had to improvise and used steam fresh frozen cauliflower. Made the sauce on stovetop and added the steamed and drained cauliflower to a casserole dish and baked until heated through. It turned out great. It’s a keeper!Reply
