I cooked this for Easter lunch, without bacon as I had none as added broccoli. OMG! Best bake I’ve ever done. So yummy and massive win with the family

No reason you couldn’t double it for a main ๐ It would just take a little longer is all – or if you did it in a 6L instead of the 3.5L the times would probably still be similar as it would be emptier so cook hotter ๐

Could you double all the ingredients and make this as a main meal not a side dish
And if so, would it need to cook for longer?

I love making this, itโs so easy and the whole family loves it. Sometimes I do half broccoli and half cauliflower and itโs just as delicious.

I made this one for the first time and it will not be my last, what a great way to have Cauliflower..
We have a camping trip planned and this will be on the menu when we are at Takaraka camping ground on our powered site (taking the 2 pot SC with us)
If you like Cauliflower, you will definitely enjoy this recipe…!

It’s a cream that doesn’t split during cooking, it resists heat. Do you have one like that? I believe the UK folk say it’s like crรจme fraiche but I’m not certain. If using regular cream I suggest adding 1-2 tsp of cornflour to it before adding as this helps resist splitting also ๐

If we used a larger slow cooker, do we double the ingredients and cook for how much longer?

Hi Sharon, sorry I only just noticed this question now after we discussed it on the group this morning. Since you did it 3hrs and it wasn’t quite done I’d suggest others add that hour then check it each 15mins after that x

Hi Paulene, if I’m doubling the recipe in my large slow cooker would I need to cook more than 2 hours ?

Could you use frozen cauliflower or broccoli for this recipe?

If you’re adding other veg such as potato, perhaps par boil the potato first to get it started.

You could add broccoli with no changes needed. Potato wouldn’t be soo good as it would need longer cooking time which would overdo the soft cauli/brocc

Can you add potatoes and broccoli with this? And how would you adjust the recipe to suit the potatoes?

Omg. This was so good. I added a little extra garlic powder ( i love garlic). Everyone loved it, even the veggie hating grandchild. I will definitely be making this again ๐
