Our favorite thing about this Mongolian Beef recipe is that it’s made entirely in the slow cooker. Just add in all the ingredients, and BOOM, you’re done! This recipe is a flavor explosion. A perfectly rich Crock Pot recipe, with a little sweet and a little heat - a classic flavor that you’ll crave. To make this a complete meal, add Steamed Broccoli and Rice!

You can also create this as a Crock Pot freezer meal, instructions included below!
