Tender florets of broccoli and cauliflower, those humble yet nutritious vegetables, surrender to a rich embrace of melted cheeses. Each spoonful delivers a symphony of textures, from the slight resistance of the perfectly cooked vegetables to the smooth, velvety caress of the cheese sauce.

This slow-cooked marvel offers a delightful alternative to heavier, starch-laden side dishes. The natural flavors of the broccoli and cauliflower are amplified by the gentle cooking process, resulting in a taste that is both subtle and intensely satisfying. The cheeses create a harmonious blend of savory notes, with a hint of tanginess that dances on the palate.

Think of the aroma that will fill your kitchen as it simmers, a promise of the deliciousness to come.

Simply toss the vegetables with the cheese, set your slow cooker, and let it work its magic. In just a few hours, you'll be rewarded with a delectable casserole that's sure to become a family favorite. It's a perfect way to sneak in those extra veggies, even for picky eaters.

    Chop the broccoli and cauliflower into small florets. They can be an assortment of bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the veggies with the olive oil and all the seasonings.
    2.
    Place the veggies and their seasonings in a slow cooker. Chop the cream cheese into cubes and arrange them over the top of the broccoli and cauliflower. Sprinkle a ½ cup of the cheddar cheese over the top as well.
    3.
    Cook the slow cooker on high heat for 4 hours. At the end of the 4 hours, stir all the ingredients together in the slow cooker. Then, sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

    Return the lid to the slow cooker and let the final layer of cheese melt - this should only take a couple minutes.
    5.
    Serve hot!
