Crockpot Broccoli Beef

Happy Friday the 13th! Time for a Jason movie marathon. 🙂

I. Love. Chinese Food.

I don’t eat it too often because if I choose to eat Chinese food, I have to go to a buffet. And let’s face it, there is no control when you walk into a Chinese buffet. All inhibitions are out the window along with your diet and healthy-eating mantra. Plus, depending on the buffet, they aren’t exactly the most sanitary places. I’m not above them but choose to stay away because of my lack of self-control in the presence of combinations of soy sauce, teriyaki sauce and lo mein noodles.

It’s like my crytonite.

That and a TON of other things.

My mom loves Chinese too and for her birthday we put together a Chinese themed party. We made Crockpot Broccoli Beef and it was a-maz-ing. Everyone was asking for the recipe.

The sad part? I can’t find it anywhere! I’ve searched high and low. I’ve Googled until I could Google no longer. I just cannot locate this incredible recipe. So when my craving for this yummy beef and veggie mixture hit a few days ago, I just winged it. And it turned out pretty great! I really LOVE how easy it is.

Serve this over lo mein noodles or just eat it like it is.

…..And save yourself a trip to the buffet.
