Got it! Here’s a simple way to make broccoli and cream cheese in a slow cooker 🥦🧀 — creamy, comforting, and super easy.
Ingredients (serves 3–4)
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets (or frozen)
- 4 oz (½ block) cream cheese, cut into cubes
- ½ cup milk or cream
- 1 small onion, chopped (optional)
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: shredded cheese (cheddar works great) or a pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Prep the slow cooker
- Spray or lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker.
- Add ingredients
- Place broccoli, onion (if using), and garlic in the slow cooker.
- Dot with cream cheese cubes.
- Pour milk over everything.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours or high for 1–1.5 hours, until broccoli is tender.
- Mix until creamy
- Use a spoon or potato masher to gently mash and mix the cream cheese into the broccoli and milk, making it creamy.
- Add salt, pepper, and any optional cheese or spices.
- Serve
- Serve hot as a side dish, or mix into pasta, rice, or baked potatoes for extra comfort food vibes.
If you want, I can give a super cheesy “broccoli and cream cheese dip” version you can eat with crackers or bread, also made in the slow cooker.
Do you want me to do that?
