Crockpot Beef & Noodles

by

I stole this recipe for Crockpot Beef & Noodles from slowcookerkitchen.com. The slow cooker does all the work for this tasty beef stew. Diced beef is placed in a slow cooker and mixed with a packet of au jus mix, a packet of dry onion soup mix, water plus cans cream of mushroom soup and golden mushroom soup. After cooking for several hours frozen egg noodles are added in the last hour of cooking. The seasoning packets and soups add a lot of flavor with no extra work from you.

“If you have food in your jaws you have solved all questions for the time being.” – Franz Kafka, “Investigations of a Dog” (see more quotes in the Quotes tab)

For this recipe you will need: 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can golden mushroom soup,1 packet Au Jus Gravy Mix, 1 packet beefy onion soup mix, 1 tbsp kitchen bouquet browning and seasoning sauce plus 4 cups of beef stock.

First, dice 2 lbs beef roast or beef tips and sear in a skillet.

Cook until just browned. Then add the beef to a sprayed slow cooker. (I also add an 8 oz container of fresh mushrooms to this step. The original recipe called for canned mushrooms added later in the recipe.)

Next in a small bowl add the canned soups, soup mix and gravy mix with the beef stock.

Whisk to combine, then pour over the beef and mushrooms in the slow cooker.

Stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW 6 to 8 hours. Then turn slow cooker to HIGH. Add seasoning sauce and 12 – 16 oz package frozen egg noodles (such as Reames).

Next, stir and press the noodles down under the liquid. Cover and cook on HIGH 30 to 90 minutes more.
