Instructions

Step 1

Start by putting the cauliflower and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, take it off the heat and set it aside for a moment. Next, get your slow cooker warmed up on the Low setting. Pour the cauliflower and water into the slow cooker, then add the processed American cheese spread and cream cheese. Stir everything well so the cheese melts and blends nicely with the cauliflower. Sprinkle in the potato flakes and garlic, and mix again. Don’t forget to taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on Low for about 2 to 3 hours until it’s nice and creamy.
