A delicious and easy recipe from cooktopstove.com. Can be either a side dish or a vegetarian main course. I'd advise leaving out the salt; the Parmesan is plenty salty already!

Slow Cooker Buffalo Cauliflower Casserole image

Slow-cooked cheesy Buffalo cauliflower that doesn't overpower in heat and pairs nicely with most all meat. I like to transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and crisp it up under the oven broiler for a few minutes, but it's not necessary.
