Description

The yummiest cauliflower you’ll ever eat! Cauliflower is cooked until soft and then mashed with butter and dry ranch dressing mix. An easy 3-ingredient recipe with lots of flavor. My only regret was that we didn’t have enough.  


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 3 Tbsp dry ranch dressing mix
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • Optional: 2 Tbsp milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Add water/broth into slow cooker. Cut the cauliflower into florets and add into the slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on HIGH for about 4 hours, or until cauliflower is very tender or LOW for about 6 hours.
  3. Remove lid and drain off all water (I placed mine in a colander). 
  4. Place cauliflower back into the crock. Stir in the butter and ranch dressing mix. Use a potato masher* to mash the cauliflower. I chose to leave mine a little chunky because I like the texture. You can also puree the cauliflower in a food processor or a blender. If you want the cauliflower a little creamier stir in the milk or cream.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
