Crock Pot Beef and Noodles is a hearty, slow-cooked comfort food featuring tender beef and egg noodles in a rich, savory gravy. Perfect for cozy dinners with minimal prep.

Ingredients

  • 2.5–3 lbs chuck roast or stew meat
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or parsley (optional)
  • 12 oz egg noodles (wide or homestyle)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp cold water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Season beef with salt and pepper.
  2. Place onion and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add beef on top.
  3. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and cream of mushroom soup (if using). Stir lightly to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8–9 hours or high for 4–5 hours until beef is tender.
  5. Shred beef with two forks and stir back into the broth.
  6. Add uncooked egg noodles during the last 30–40 minutes of cooking. Stir occasionally until noodles are tender.
  7. Optional: Mix cornstarch and cold water into the broth during the last 15 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a creamy twist, stir in cream cheese or sour cream at the end.
  • Add vegetables like peas, mushrooms, or carrots in the last hour of cooking.
  • Frozen egg noodles work well—just monitor cook time.
  • Cook noodles separately if you prefer firmer texture or plan to freeze the beef mixture.
  • Use gluten-free pasta and broth to make the dish gluten-free.
