  3. Pour the cheese mixture over the broccoli in the crockpot, ensuring the broccoli is evenly coated.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, high-quality broccoli florets and shred the cheese yourself rather than using pre-shredded varieties. Adjust the cooking time based on your crockpot's temperature settings, as some models may run hotter or cooler than others. Experiment with different cheese blends to find the combination that best suits your taste preferences.
