Don’t waste money on Chinese when you can make your own Broccoli and Beef in your slow cooker at home!

Chinese food is a favorite in our family! We often go out after graduations, for family get-togethers, and just to spend time together without having to cook. We love to eat out, but sometimes you just want to cook some of your takeout favorites at home. We have a recipe that’s better than takeout Broccoli and Beef!

The best part about this recipe? It’s all cooked in the crock-pot. It’s very low-maintenance, has very little prep, and will melt in your mouth. Why is it better than takeout broccoli and beef?

1. It ends up being about half the price of the cheapest chinese place around.
2. You can eat it in your sweat pants…or no pants.
3. It’s for sure beef, and not some *other* meat.
4. It doesn’t come in a styrofoam container that will leak all over the seat of your car.
