This Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli Recipe is a Freezer Meal Too!

Yep!  This is another crockpot freezer meal.  It does NOT have to be one.  But it CAN.  That's the beauty of most freezer meals...they can be tossed in a bag or two and frozen for later, or they can be tossed right in the crock pot for a delicious dinner!  Either one.  This one's no exception...Beef and Broccoli Crock Pot Freezer Meal

 

For this freezer meal you just toss all the ingredients in a large zip lock bag EXCEPT the broccoli and cornstarch.  That you dump in a smaller bag and add a bit before serving.

Now that I've said that I'll modify it a bit...you can toss it all in one bag but your broccoli will most likely cook apart.  If you don't mind that happening, then toss it all in one bag.

But if you want it to say a bit crisps and look like and taste like the Chinese you are used to eating...just place the broccoli in a smaller bag and stick it inside the big bag.

This is what it looks like when it comes out.  It's a little messy, but not bad at all.

Just rinse it off, put it in the refrigerator until a bit before supper and it'll be fine.  And this way there's no chance of losing it in the freezer...which is always a good thing

    Wasn't a huge fan of this one. Seemed to be lacking in the flavor department, I think some garlic would've helped a lot. One family member wouldn't even try it because it had too much sauce and they said it looked like beef and broccoli stew. However, that's my own fault for going with the 3/4 cup of beef broth instead of the half.

      Hi Toni,
      I am sorry you didn't appreciate the flavor. Garlic is ALWAYS a wonderful option. Also, I've noticed as of late that some soy sauces aren't a flavorful as others. I thought it was my taste buds honestly. Maybe it wasn't? Maybe that was part of the issue as well. I honestly don't know, it's a guess.
      Psstt...Garlic powder and/or onion powder would punch it up a bit maybe. As would oyster sauce. Just ideas if you decide to try it again in the future.
