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
My mom did too! We always called it “Beefy Noodle Moosh”! I have some, leftover, in the fridge right now!
I’ve been repeating her version for years, but it took on a whole ‘nother dimension, when I discovered ‘Reames Frozen Home-Style Egg Noodles’!
Although she didn’t specify them by brand name, I recognized them instantly, in Jamie’s pictures & she did list them as “Frozen Home-Style Egg Noodles”, just as on the Reames packaging.
They are AWESOME, EASY & relatively easy to find! I buy mine at Kroger, in the freezer case, near the frozen potato products.
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
Hi,need to verify 16 hrs of cooking??
I see a lot of comments that this a winter comfort food. I’m making it today (August), lol! I’m also going to add some mushrooms and carrots too, for added veggies.
Many of the comments say this is a good winter comfort food. I’m making this soup today (August), lol! I’ve added carrots and mushrooms to it, for some veggies in it. Thanks for sharing this yummy soup recipe!
I made this today, very easy and very delicious, I did double the beef broth, which was perfect for the soup, will definitely make again!
Hi..Can this recipe be cut in half and still be delicious? And if so,would the cooking time be different? It’s just me and the hub and he doesn’t eat leftovers..So that usually on me to eat up and sometimes I can’t do,,,so food goes to waste..But I so want to try this,,it looks yummy and I haven’t have it since I was younger at Grandma’s house. Thanks Tiff
I really wanted this soup for tonight’s dinner. I have the roast in my instant pot and will transfer it to my crock pot with the rest of the broth. I can’t wait!!! I couldn’t find the same noodles but hoping that ones I found in the refrigerated section will be fine. they’re similar to a Fettuccine noodle.
Hi Jamie,
What kind of beef roast do you prefer to use in this recipe? Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Kathy
Hello! I’d like to try this, but I can’t do mushrooms. Is there another cream of soup you would recommend?
Dos your slow cooker beef and noodles use a chuck roast? This recipe sounds super ? yummy!
I’ve got this in my instant pot ready for dinner now! Put a can of broth, soup mix, cream of mushroom and garlic in the pot with 3 pounds of roast that I cut into huge chunks. Set my pressure cooker to seal and 90 minutes. Just checked on it and it look amazing. Shredded perfectly! I’ll add some more broth and boil the noodles just before dinner.
