    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.

      I fixed the recipe as written, but put on high 3 hours, topped with the remaining cheese and put it on the keep warm setting. It came out perfect when it was time to eat. Husband, who is not a big fan of either broccoli or cauliflower, said it was the best vegetable dish I ever made!

        I made this with left over lightly steamed broccoli and cauli - instead of the oil I used a couple of dabs of butter.(not a precise measurement I'm sorry) As the vegetables were already cooked - I popped them on an oven tray with the cheese topping and some precooked and diced bacon - cooked in the oven, until warmed through and cheese melted - for a puuuurfectly delicious lunch.

        I made this tonight for our family dinner. However, I baked in the oven. It turned out great!

          I made this into delicious cream of vegetable soup, akin to broccoli cheddar soup. I doubled the spices, added 1 zucchini, 2 cut up chicken breasts 1/2 cup of chicken broth, and cooked it in my Instant Pot for 4 minutes. The result was a mush with chicken. The taste was good but not the texture. I also felt it needed some acid. I added some fresh lemon juice. I blended the whole shebang in my Vitamix on high until smooth and creamy. I probably won’t make it again, but will enjoy the soup with a little sriracha drizzle this week.

            I absolutely love this!! I doubled the recipe and baked it in the oven in a 9x9 pan at 390 covered for about 20 minutes. Removed cover stirred and added the remaining cheese. Baked for another 5 minutes or so. Absolutely perfect! My hubby and I ate 2/3rd at one setting! ❤️

              I cooked mine in the oven in a bread pan at 350 for 15 minutes. Turned out perfect!

              I made this in my super small crock . It was crammed full cooked 3 hours and is wonderful!

                Should this be 4 hours on low?

                  Agreeing with majority of others that the cook time can be decreased by a lot. Was very mushy after 4 hours, but still delicious.

                    Turned to mush after 4 hrs. And I even told myself that was too long! But I follow directions like an idiot.

                      Any tips for adjusting to an instant pot? I was considering cooking it in there instead?

                        I'm gonna try it tonight, but from the info I found put the mix in a cheesecake pan that will fit in your pot, then add cup of water to the pot, place rack in pot, cheesecake pan on that and cook high pressure x 5 minutes with a quick release after that. From your username, I'm assuming your from Tucson as well, the instant pot is a life saver in this heat.

                        I cook as a casserole. Roast the vegetables on a baking sheet sprayed with Pam for 20 min 400F. Then transfer to bowl and mix in the other ingredients. I also add some sour cream to the mix. Put into a casserole dish and cook for 15 min at 375F. Add some more cheddar on top and cook another 5 min.

                      I tried this dish last week and it was a fail. Four hours on high in a crock pot was too long and it burned. I rate it a one star but I’ll do a final rating after the second try. It sounds like a yummy dish so I am giving it another try today. This time I’m steaming the broccoli and cauliflower first and finishing it off in the oven. I’ll let you know how it comes out. Okay this was soo good the second time around! Definitely making this again with the changes I made to it. Giving it 5 stars.

                      I followed all directions, but at the end of 4 hours on high it was completely burned! Will try again in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 350... it looks so good!
