Yummy Fall Crockpot Meal - Beef, it's what's for dinner

Here's a recipe for a great meal for a fall evening...
it especially goes well with football..
reminder: start it in the morning so it can hang out in the crockpot for hours on end

one serving, with everything below included came out to 329 calories for me (there were 6 servings to be had)

Beef brisket (some sort of big slab of beef you can throw in the crockpot)
5 celery sticks
handful of baby carrots
head of cauliflower
chicken, beef, or pork broth 3 cups
2 tblsp minced garlic
3 potatoes diced, if you'd like.

pour the broth into the crockpot
chop celery then add celery and garlic to the broth.
toss the slab of beef in the pot, start it on high
(add potatoes as well if you've chosen to use them)

keep crock pot on high for a few hours until the water starts bubbling.
switch temp to low
prep cauliflower about 45 minutes before you want to eat and toss in the cauliflower and carrots

When "unloading" the crockpot, pour it into a collander above a huge bowl to catch the broth. Grab about a cup of broth out of there and put it in a pan on the stove to heat up and add flour to to make gravy (just an option)

Save the rest of the broth in a container in the fridge or freezer to use with other crockpot dishes or make some soup with it by adding back in some of the meat and veggies.

Enjoy! Happy Fall!
