Cooking Instructions
Combine the beef stew meat, brown gravy mix, au jus mix, and water in your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to ensure all the meat is well-coated with the savory seasonings.
Cover your slow cooker and set it to low heat for 6 to 8 hours. The beef will become wonderfully fork-tender, breaking apart easily and soaking in all those delicious flavors.
About 20 minutes before you’re ready to serve, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the wide egg noodles until they’re al dente. Drain them well and keep them warm so they’re ready to soak up the gravy.
If there are larger pieces of beef, shred them for easier serving. Ladle the tender beef and rich gravy generously over the noodles, and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Gather around the table with your loved ones, dish out the hearty meal, and enjoy the comforting atmosphere created by this delicious dish.
Notes
Optional: Serve with crusty bread to soak up any extra gravy.
