5. Cook on High until the sauce thickens, about 30 minutes.
6. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to the boil.
7. Cook broccoli in covered steamer until tender, 2 to 6 minutes; add to sauce in slow cooker and stir to coat.

If the sauce hasn't thickened, it can be ladled out and cooked in a saucepan until it reaches the desired consistency. Then return it to the slow cooker.
