Slow Cooker Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

This Easy Slow Cooker Recipe for Creamy Mashed Cauliflower is a winning Low Carb, gluten free recipe! Instructions also include steaming cauliflower if you don’t own a slow cooker.

Creamy Mashed Cauliflower can be as comforting as creamy mashed potatoes when you have the perfect combination of ingredients. This recipe is a winning recipe! It’s got simple ingredients and just a few at that, and a simple method for perfect mashed cauliflower.

Obviously if you’ve just started in a low carb life style, you most likely miss some comforting carb type foods you used to enjoy. To the long time low carb person, cauliflower is the dream vegetable that can really make a perfect substitute for many once loved “carb” foods.

Making cauliflower is super simple if you own a wonderful steamer it’s usually ready and fork tender in 25-30 minutes. Instructions below include not using a slow cooking and steaming the cauliflower on the stove as well. But if you’ve got a bunch of things cooking away on the stove or oven and your hands of full, the ease of using the crock pot is the way to go for this simple side dish.

Mashed cauliflower is either loved or hated by the family. My kids are not keen on eating it like this, BUT when I disguise the cauliflower in recipes they have no idea they are eating it.

Some winning HIDDEN SNEAKY CAULIFLOWER recipes my 3 picky kids and hubby love are;

• Cheesy Cauliflower Tots
• Chicken Enchilada Cauliflower Casserole
• Bacon Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole
• Mini Shepherd’s Pot Pie
• Cauliflower Tortillas
• Mexican Cauliflower Lasagna

I love using Mashed Cauliflower over pretty much anything! This recipe is an exclusive called Cheesy Stuffed Chicken Kiev Meatballs from my 4 Week Low Carb Family Dinner Menu plans.

Serve mashed cauliflower over my Cheesy Stuffed Meatballs,  Salisbury Steak, Caprese Stuffed Chicken Thighs,  or my Cheesy Stuffed Spinach Meatloaf!

Enjoy!

* If you don't have a slow cooker, simply steam the cauliflower in the chicken broth in a pot on the stove on low heat until fork tender.
If you have a standard steamer appliance you can skip the chicken broth while it's steaming and mix it into the mashed cauliflower after it's mashed.
