Crock Pot Beef & Veggies Over Rice
I love Chinese food. And Japanese food. And sushi… oh how I love sushi. But since we moved back to my hometown almost 3 years ago, I rarely get to eat this… one of my favorite cuisines. Enters into my life: Crock Pot Beef & Veggies Over Rice.
You see, my tiny town doesn’t offer Chinese food. I have to drive almost 40 miles for that… and honestly, even when I go to the not-so-big town 40 miles away, I’m often with a gaggle of kids and we often end up at McDonald’s or Wendys.
I love those places, but really… sometimes I just want some Beef & Broccoli, or Sesame Chicken… or a Philadelphia Roll (or three). You know?
So last week when linking up at Tuesday Talent Show, I found this recipe for Crock Pot Beef & Broccoli and I knew I had to make it. It looked so easy – and it cooked in the crock pot… hello??? I love my crock pot!!
So, I made a few changes (not that you’d have to) and wha-la… it was delicious!! Mostly I changed the quantities (to accommodate my family of 8) and I added more veggies (because we don’t get enough of those around here)… and I tell you – this recipe is a winner!!
Now I can have Chinese at home… and it’s cheaper than eating out! My husband has already suggested that we make it again soon! Yay!!

Instructions
- Place the sliced beef in the bottom of your crock pot. In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and garlic. Pour over the beef and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

This looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday 🙂
This looks a pretty quick and healthy meal to put together. Would you share it today on my foodie friday linky?
Love the crockpot too. My son who is anti-veggie right now will eat them in an Asian dish. It must be the sauce. I like how you filled out the recipe with veggies. Thanks for sharing it on foodie friday, see you next week.
This sounds great. Pinning so I can make it this week! Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you!
I hear ya on the Chinese food. We live in a place where there are hardly any Chinese restaurants and the ones we do have are terrible. I make this for my family, but usually on the stove. Will have to give your slow cooker one a try. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.
