Freezer & Crockpot Friendly Broccoli & Beef

When J and I first got married, we ate this ALL. THE. TIME. I mean, it was in our meal plan rotation more than it probably should have been. We finally got burnt out of it and I didn't make it for over a year. We saw a package of mongolian beef at Trader Joe's and J asked if I would make this again. It's still super easy to throw together, light on the budget, and really yummy!
