Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • pot

Ingredients

For the Beef and Gravy

  • 2 pounds Beef Stew Meat Substitution: Can use pot roast or chicken for different flavors.
  • 1 package Brown Gravy Mix Use a low-sodium mix for a healthier option.
  • 1 package Au Jus Mix Important for intensifying flavor.
  • 4 cups Water Can use beef broth for added flavor.

For the Noodles

  • 12 ounces Wide Egg Noodles Ensure to drain and keep warm until serving.

Instructions

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.
