Beef and Noodles
This is one of those recipes that remind me of home. It’s not necessarily a dish we often had, 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 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 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!!

Ingredients
- 2 – 3 pounds beef roast
- 1 can reduced-sodium beef broth, 14 oz.

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the beef broth, beefy onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and garlic cloves. Set aside.
- Place the roast in a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker. Add the soup mixture. Cover and cook for 8 hours or overnight on LOW, or until the beef shreds easily.

I have made this 3 times….so delicious, thank-you! The only thing I do differently is to add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables when I add the frozen noodles…the best!🐈❄️🐈
