Slow Cooker Cauliflower Casserole image

We love cauliflower, eat it raw as a snack, roast or steam it, mash it for a potato replacement, add it to a salad, but enjoying it as a creamy casserole with layers of interesting flavor is a great way to brighten up the dinner table.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out watery. I think I might have added too much milk.
