Set your slow cooker on “high” & let it cook for around five hours.
After the first five hours, it’s time to add the baby carrots.
The amount is totally up to you!
As Kayli says, “Just put in as many carrots as you want. If you don’t like carrots, don’t add a lot. Or, you can skip them if that’s what you prefer.”
Once you’ve added the carrots, let it cook for another hour.
Next, toss in the chopped broccoli.
If you’re a fan of veggies, this is a great time to add any other vegetables you like.
Onions, peppers or cauliflower would be awesome choices.
After adding your veggies, cover it again and let it cook for one more hour.
