Where we live it is not always convenient to run out and buy take-out food. It’s much easier to make one of our favorite take-out dishes, meat and broccoli, at home. With the help of a slow cooker, the tender meat and fresh broccoli is ready and on the table in 3 1/2 hours (2 hours, if up)! If you like to come home to a meal that is ready to serve and eat, try my slow-cooked beer brats!
