Storage
To Store: Leftover cheesy cauliflower should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. It will keep for 3-4 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
To Reheat: Microwave individual portions in 30-second intervals until heated throughout.
I do not recommend freezing this dish.

Slow Cooker Cauliflower Soup
This side dish can easily be turned into a main meal! This is the perfect soup for slow cooker season. Here's how to make slow cooker cauliflower soup:
- Start with the original recipe and then add 32 ounces of chicken stock or chicken broth (or use vegetable stock for a creamy vegetarian soup).
- You can also add veggies like carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes if you like. It's also a great way to use up leftover shredded chicken.
- Just before serving, add 1 cup of milk or heavy cream and use a hand-held immersion blender (this is the one I use) to puree the soup.
Serving Suggestions
This cauliflower side dish is delicious just like it is, but for some extra creaminess add in a splash of heavy cream just before serving. I like this with some chopped green onions. You could also top it with bacon bits.
