Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli came around for a couple of reasons.  One of the main ones?  It freezes beautifully.  Second?  Because it's EASY!  Winner!
I combined a few different recipes (really picked and chose) which parts of their sauce I wanted!  Turned out pretty good in my opinion.
There are a few notes for you to read though!  1 - as with all slow cooker recipes the sauce for Beef and Broccoli comes out very thin.  If you want you can make it thicker on the stove with some corn starch - I did not and it was still delish.  2 - I like very tiny chopped broccoli - not big chunks (I'm a weirdo I know).
I used a 10 ounce bag of chopped frozen broccoli.  It required VERY little cooking time.  If you want the broccoli florets then my suggestion would be to buy a steam in bag, microwave it and then add for a couple of minutes.  You could add it for longer to the slow cooker too instead of steaming it in the microwave - your choice.
Hope you enjoy it like I did!
