Crockpot Beef and Broccoli Recipe – 7 Point Value
When I think of beef and broccoli, I always think of traditional Chinese stir fry. But this tasty dish is made in a slow cooker or crockpot, and offers a whole new way to enjoy it!

Wendy – YOU ROCK!! These are such awesome recipes!! I’m trying this one tonight – I hope it’ll be ok (I’m cooking it on High for 5 hours – since you know, I’m a procrastinating Israeli and I forgot to do it earlier). :-p

Hi Lily, when I made this dish, I used a bottled teriyaki glaze by Kikkoman. It was delish and surprisingly low calorie. You should be able to find that at any grocery store.

I made this one last week and it just didn’t work out. I thought it would have an asian flavor and it didn’t at all. I followed the recipe to a T, but the beef fell apart like it was tender, but it was dry inside. Definitely not my fave.
