Crockpot Beef & Broccoli

Chinese food is something I had all but given up on making myself. I had tried recipe after recipe, and they all paled in comparison to the stuff you get in the restaurant. When I saw this recipe for crockpot beef & broccoli, I nearly passed over it, but something about it seemed so doable. I figured what the heck, let's give it one more try. 

Yall, I am so glad that I did! Parker absolutely loved it, it was easy, and it was plain delicious. Seriously, it's so good. If you're like me and just don't even attempt homemade Chinese food, give this recipe a try!
