Notes
- This recipe is incredibly versatile. You can swap out the broccoli for other vegetables, like cauliflower, green beans, or carrots, depending on your preference.
- If you like your broccoli to be more on the tender side, add it to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash of milk or chicken broth to the slow cooker before serving.
- If you're not a fan of mushrooms, you can leave them out of the recipe altogether.
