Slow Cooker Spicy Beef and Broccoli Recipe

This Slow Cooker Spicy Beef and Broccoli Recipe is for all my "cooks" who love a good Chinese meal, but can't make one for the life of them.  This dish is super easy to make. And don't let the spicy scare you (or your kids), it's very simple to dial it up or down by adjusting the red pepper flakes and you won't lose any flavor.




I love Chinese food.

I love cooking.

But as a white girl, living in the Midwest, my ability to make good Chinese food at home is about the same as finding the Pacific Ocean in my backyard. #notverylikely

And while I could pick up the phone and order takeout, there is something completely satisfying about knowing what ingredients are in your meal AND cooking it yourself.

After a little bit of work and a whole lot of trial and ERRORS, I’ve found the slow cooker to be my preferred small kitchen appliance to use when making Chinese food.

(And for the record, I’ve tried a WOK. Several times and all I end up with is greasy food and oil burns on my hands. In another life, I will master the WOK, but I’m pretty sure it ain’t going to be this one.)

This recipe is incredibly simple. It truly is dump a bunch of ingredients, add some meat and walk away for several hours. Plus, the little known secret of not-sogggy-broccoli is to add it at the very end (like while you are opening a bottle of wine to go with your meal) and you are making rice.

And finally, don’t let the word “spicy” worry you in the name of the recipe…you can easily dial the spice up or down by the amount of red pepper flakes you use…more spice, add more – less spice, take them out.
