Crock Pot Cauliflower Broccoli Casserole Recipe ~ The Perfect Side Dish Recipe in your Slow Cooker! Broccoli and Cauliflower Smothered in Cheese and Topped with Corn Flakes!
The dreaded moment you are planning your holiday meal and you have it all planned out to a T and then you realize you don’t have enough oven space for all of your fabulous dishes! It’s amazing how fast that precious oven space fills up when you are planning a large meal. I have a trick to save you from this disaster though! That trick isusing your Crock Pot for your side dishes! I do this all the time and it saves me so many headaches.
Planning a holiday meal or really any time you are entertaining is labor intensive and a bit stressful. My friend Danielle hosted Thanksgiving at her house and she sent me a snapshot of her color coded spreadsheet detailing exactly what time she needed to do each step of her meal. Now that is major planning! I, on the other hand, am more of a wing it and pray girl!
When you host a meal do you make it all yourself or gladly except the help of those coming? I was always raised you brought a dish when invited somewhere for the holiday, but I guess that’s not always so normal. I’m more than happy to pitch in when going somewhere because I would rather do that then have to clean my house and plan that holiday. Although, don’t worry, I do that when it’s my turn!
A side dish is an easy dish to bring somewhere especially when prepared in the slow cooker. I love that it cooks while I’m getting myself, the hubs and the girls ready for the holidays then I just grab it and go! Plus, can you really go wrong with anything with cheese in it? I think not! My husband is quite known for looking at my dishes and then adding more cheese. What can I say, welove cheese!
Like I said before, we love our cheese! One of the brands we have come to trust is Crystal Farms Cheese. I trust them because they have been committed to providing the highest quality product to consumers since 1926. I love that they are located just a stone throw away from me in Lake Mills, Wisconsin where they have been devoted to delivering consistent quality and great tasting products. Crystal Farms products are known for being a natural products with few preservatives, a rich source of calcium, gluten-free and lactose tolerant.
Next time you are making your favorite dish make sure to grab Crystal Farms Cheese in your dairy section to top it off with!

This was much better than it sounded. I cooked mine on low for 2 hours as it stated, and it wasn’t done. Added another 1 hour on high. It came out perfect. Used a 5 qt slow cooker.Reply
Julie Evink says
I’m sorry it wasn’t done in two hours, but glad it worked out! Did you use fresh cauliflower and broccoli?

Don’t make this. Dry cauliflower & broccoli with a bit of melted cheese and crunch on top. You’re better off making a cheese sauce for the veggies. Very disappointing.

I’m sorry to hear that!

I cooked It on high for 1 hr and it was just warmed up. I even cut the florets in half thinking that maybe it would cook a little faster than an hour. I ended up cooking it for another hour and it was perfect. I didn’t have cornflakes, so I toasted some bread mixed it with olive oil and sprinkled that on top. I loved the ratio of seasonings that you had in the recipe. 2 hrs was the perfect timing for my crock pot. Love me some broccoli/cauliflower casserole. Yum!Reply
Julie says
Glad you enjoyed it!

The veggies were crisp tender. The kids like them tender. Tried cooking longer.. Then they were tough. I think I will do this in the oven, if I make again.Reply
Julie Evink says
Nope just as it states!

We tried the crock pot cauliflower broccoli casserole tonight and the kids really liked it! I put it with buttered pasta and topped it with fried onions instead of butter and corn flakes. I’ll be using this recipe again! Thanks

Easy side dishes to pass are a must this time of year! Cheese and vegetables are always a winner with kids too.
