🛒 Ingredients Checklist
- 2 lbs Beef Chuck Roast (cubed)
- 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 2 cups Beef Broth
- 1 packet Onion Soup Mix
- 16 oz Egg Noodles
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- Salt & Pepper to taste
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Beef
Season your beef cubes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. If you have extra time, sear them in a pan for 2 minutes to lock in the flavor, but if you're in a rush, you can put them straight into the crockpot!
2. The Slow Cook
In your slow cooker, mix the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and onion soup mix. Add the beef cubes and stir until coated. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.
3. Add the Noodles
About 20 minutes before serving, boil your egg noodles in a separate pot until tender. Drain them and stir them directly into the beef and gravy in the crockpot.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Garnish with fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Serve it in a big bowl and watch it disappear!
🤔 Cooking Tips & FAQ
Q: Can I use a different cut of beef?
A: Yes! Stew meat or even round roast works well, but chuck roast is the most tender for slow cooking.
Q: What if the gravy is too thin?
A: Mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with a bit of water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
