Slow Cooker Broccoli and Beef
Now that Labor Day is over and Summer is officially winding down we feel a little better about pulling out our slow cookers. The real beauty is that a slow cooker meal or dessert is great for whatever the season or occasion may be. Today I made the best tasting Slow Cooker Broccoli and Beef on the planet.
It is packed full of tender beef, perfectly cooked broccoli and the most amazing spices your family is going to love you and you are going to love how easy this is to make.
How do you thicken sauce in a slow cooker?
You can use cornstarch, flour, chickpea flour or wondra and add a tablespoon or two just towards the end of cooking.
I served my Slow Cooker Broccoli and Beef over rice, but it would be great over some type of pasta or even on its own. The juices all this slow cooks in marinates the beef so perfectly that every bite is bursting with flavor and is moist and tender.
Is beef and broccoli healthy?
When going out to dinner you never know exactly how something is prepared, so it may not be as healthy as you were hoping, but if you make it at home you know what you are putting into it, so it can be healthier.

Hi Shannon,
Is it acceptable to use thickly cut deli roast beef in this recipe?
Thanks,
Irene
Irene,
I am not sure how that would turn out, but if you like it than I would try it.
