Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli is a Delicious Take-Out Meal Made Right In Your Own Home!

We love Slow Cooker Beef recipes! Some of our favorites include Slow Cooker Hamburger Goulash and Slow Cooker Honey Barbecue Beef Brisket.

Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli

I love to order Beef & Broccoli whenever we go to our favorite Chinese restaurant. They do an amazing job with this dish – but honestly, that gets expensive! I still love to order it as a treat, but I decided that there has to be a way to make it at home.

I was right! My Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli has everything you love – tender beef, tender-crisp broccoli, and that lovely, wonderful sauce. It’s also a fraction of the cost and incredibly easy to prepare!

DO I HAVE TO USE AN EXPENSIVE CUT OF BEEF?

Because this recipe is made in the slow cooker, you can use inexpensive cuts. That’s one thing I absolutely love about my slow cooker – the cheaper cuts of beef actually work better! The long, slow cooking process breaks down the connective tissue that makes those cuts tough in the first place, resulting in beef that is so darn tender you’ll wonder why you ever thought of paying more.

DOES IT MATTER IF I USE FRESH OR FROZEN BROCCOLI?

It really doesn’t matter – both will work well in this recipe! Frozen is often more convenient for a lot of families, but if you find a great price on fresh, feel free to use it!

WILL SLOW COOKER BEEF & BROCCOLI FREEZE WELL?

It definitely will! The broccoli will become more tender when it’s frozen, so if you like it to have some “snap,” you may want to leave that out and freeze everything else. It can easily be added in when you are ready to thaw, heat, and serve!

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
