Try this delicious beef and broccoli slow cooker recipe for a nice, hot and hearty meal!
Over the last ten years, I’ve noticed a significant difference in the heat and cook times of the various slow cookers available on the market. I feel like the newer slow cookers can tend to get a lot hotter than older models. (Maybe that’s just a combination of the age and level of use for each slow cooker.) You’ll need to adjust the heat levels and time according to your slow cooker.
I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments below!
