Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli

Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli

Easy Chinese Take Out Food in the crockpot

Lately my life has become a little crazy. The past year I have owned a food truck and with it out almost every night of the week and usually right around dinner time I have tried to up my crockpot/slow cooker game. Having dinner for my family is really important to me. And luckily recipes like this make that happen!

Ever since I have decided to add at least 2 crockpot meals to my menu each week I have tried to create as much variety in those dishes as possible! Years ago I thought crockpot meals were basically a roast or chicken and some type of cream of chicken type soup that you mixed together and look more like slop then anything else. And believe me those meals are still definitely a part of our home but they have become less and less common! Thankfully!!!

I made this beef and broccoli for dinner last night and it exceeded my expectations! I knew I needed to share it right away. Super super simple dinner! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
