Follow The Directions

01

Step

Spray the inside of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. (Prep time: 1 minute)

02

Step

Spray a small skillet with cooking spray and add sausage. Cook over medium heat until sausage are browned, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer to the prepared slow cooker. Add cauliflower, cream cheese, butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine. (Prep time: 10 minutes, Cook time: 2-3 minutes)

03

Step

Cover slow cooker and cook on Low until cauliflower is fork tender, about 2 hours. Stir in pepper Jack cheese and cook for 30 minutes longer. (Cook time: 2 hours 30 minutes)

04

Step

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble once cool enough to handle. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over finished casserole. (Cook time: 10 minutes, Prep time: 5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the cauliflower florets in the skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
Feel free to substitute the pepper Jack cheese with your favorite variety, such as cheddar or Gruyere.
To make this dish vegetarian, omit the sausage and bacon. You can add some sauteed mushrooms or other vegetables to compensate.
