Crock Pot Beef & Noodles
Crock Pot Beef And Noodles is a comforting, classic Midwestern dish that’s rich, hearty, and affordable.
Ingredients
- 2–3 lb chuck roast or similar cut, see FQAs
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 2 cup low-sodium beef broth or water
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 clove garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 lb egg noodles dried, fresh, or frozen
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
For thickening: (optional)
- ½ cup heavy cream or 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Brown the roast. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil, and sear beef for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. (optional)
- Place beef in the crock pot. Add broth, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning.
- Cover and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or High for 4 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-sized pieces in the crock pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the noodles.
- Cover and set to cook on High for 10-20 minutes until noodles are al dente. (Cooking time will vary by noodle type.)
- For a thicker sauce, stir in the cream or cornstarch slurry. Let cook until thickened enough to coat a spoon.
