Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Noodles

  • 8 ounces egg noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: Season the beef chuck chunks evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary. This infuses the meat with savory flavors that will develop during slow cooking.
  2. Slow cook the beef: Place the seasoned beef into the slow cooker and pour beef broth over it. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  3. Add the noodles: About 20 minutes before serving, add the egg noodles directly into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine, cover, and continue cooking until the noodles are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Simmer and serve: Once the noodles are cooked through and the beef is tender, stir gently to mix everything well. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker broth, you can mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the slow cooker 10 minutes before adding the noodles.
  • Feel free to add chopped vegetables like carrots and celery at the beginning of cooking for added nutrition and flavor.
  • If you prefer, use fresh egg noodles for a tender texture.
  • Leftovers store well and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
