Hearty, and stick-to-your-ribs, this Slow Cooker Beef & Noodles is a cinch to make!
This is one of those recipes that remind me of home. It’s not necessarily a dish we had often, but it was a memorable dish when my grandma or mom made it! Occasionally, I make the noodles from scratch like my grandma and mom do … and other times, I just buy them frozen! 😉
Depending on the day, sometimes I like my Beef and Noodles with more broth than other times. Feel free to adjust the liquid to your family’s preference and to your slow cooker. If you like a thicker recipe, use less liquid – and if you like it more like a soup, use more liquid. In my slow cooker, I used the initial can of beef broth mixed with soup mix, soup, and garlic – plus, I later added 8 cups (2 full cartons) of beef broth – which yields what you see in these pictures.
Although my grandma and mom didn’t make their Beef and Noodles in the slow cooker, it’s my preferred method. I usually start the beef the night before so it’s nice and tender in the morning. I quickly shred it and add in some additional beef broth before going about my day. Then, about an hour before mealtime, I add the noodles. It really is that easy and you won’t believe how rich and flavorful this dish is until you try it!!

Oh man this sounds good. My aunt made beef and noodles for us when we were visiting her… 10+ years ago?, and I still think about that meal! It's not something my mom ever made. I really need to add it to my repertoire.

I grew up eating something similar. Mom would cook down Sundays pot roast, add all the leftover veggies & gravy w/some more water & wide noodles – pure comfort food. I have never tried it from scratch and can't wait to do so. Thanks
I'm not familiar with with frozen egg noodles. Will the No Yolk boiling kind work?
I have never used those – you may need to adjust the cooking time and liquid. If you use them, I would love to know how it turns out!
Pinned! thanks 🙂
Jamie – I'm late to the noodles and beef party, but it's in the crock now!! Noodles to follow later today (been cooking all night). Thank you – again – for all your awesome recipes. You won't believe how many I use to take to our missionaries every Sunday! They love everything!!!
Have made these 3 times and they are wonderful. The frozen noodles are close to homemade.😃😉 Thanks
