EASY Healthy Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli
A Chinese take-out favorite that can be made right in the slow cooker – no sauteing, no stirring, no frying. It doesn’t get easier than that!
And my family, husband included!, ate it right up. There was hardly any left for me when dinner was said and done!
I should mention that I like my beef tender like a New York steak, which is why I only let mine sit in the slow cooker for a total of 2 hours. But if you like your meat in the texture of pulled-pork-tender, I recommend increasing the time to 3-4 hours. Either way, you’ll definitely want to skip take-out and make this right at home instead!
