Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Sauce
- 1 lb stew meat
- 1 pack Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 pack brown gravy mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small can mushrooms, drained
- 1 can beef broth (10.5 oz, same can size as the soup)
Noodles
- Egg noodles (enough for 4 servings, approx. 8 oz dry)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and ensuring your crockpot is clean and ready to use.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the stew meat, onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, drained mushrooms, and beef broth into the crockpot. Stir everything thoroughly to blend the flavors evenly.
- Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set to low. Let it cook for 8 hours to allow the beef to become tender and soak up the rich, savory flavors.
- Cook the Noodles: About 30 minutes before the beef is done, prepare the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them well and set aside.
- Finish the Dish: Once the beef is tender and cooked through, stir the cooked egg noodles directly into the crockpot. Mix well to coat the noodles with the flavorful beef and gravy sauce. Serve hot immediately.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water to the crockpot 30 minutes before serving and cook until thickened.
- Using stew meat with some fat content helps keep the beef tender and flavorful.
- Feel free to add vegetables like carrots or green beans in the last few hours of cooking for added nutrition.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop or microwave.
