Crock Pot Beef and Noodles
For 100% pure comfort food, try our 1-pot Crock Pot Beef and Noodles; fall-apart tender beef in silky gravy with old-fashioned egg noodles.
Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion peeled and diced
- 2.5 to 3.5 pounds boneless beef shoulder roast top or bottom round, or chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon granulated onion
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 6 cups beef broth divided, (see notes)
- 24 ounces frozen egg noodles or 12-16 ounces dried home style egg noodles
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt sour cream, creme fraiche, or heavy cream
- Minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Scatter the diced onions over the bottom of your slow-cooker/crock pot. Nestle the beef roast (fat side up) into the onions. Sprinkle the kosher salt, black pepper, granulated onion, dried thyme, and nutmeg over the beef then pour 2 cups of the beef broth (or the canned soup) over the beef.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours, until the beef shreds easily with a fork. Use two forks to shred the beef into bite size pieces, removing any excess fat if you see it. Add the remaining 4 cups of beef broth and the egg noodles and stir to distribute.
- Put the lid back in place, turn the crock pot to HIGH and cook for an additional 60 to 90 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Stir in the Greek yogurt, sour cream, creme fraiche, or heavy cream, and serve in bowls garnished with fresh parsley.
