So lately I've been trying to search for some really delicious crockpot meals. I only have a few that I make pretty regularly but would love to use my crockpot more often. Dont' you just love it when the crockpot cooks supper?? Well, I DO!! The trouble I seem to have is that so many of the recipes call for Cream of Mushroom soup- YUCK! After lots of reading in cookbooks and online, I've found a few that I want to try over the coming weeks. Here's the latest- CROCKPOT BEEF AND NOODLES. I'll be honest - I've never made beef and noodles before but my hubby and I love chicken and noodles so I thought this would be a nice alternative. Some of the recipes I found seemed rather bland and I wanted the beef to have some flavor. After lots of searching and reviewing lots of recipes, here's what I came up with. I think this dish turned out so delicious and I know I'll be making this again and again. A recipe perfect for those cold winter days! I hope you enjoy this one!!
This is soooooo simple!!!!! Have you ever used the crockpot liners??? They are fabulous!!!
Place stew meat in crockpot and cover with 2 cans beef broth and 2 cups water. I realize it looks like a lot of liquid. Don't worry!! You will need all that liquid later on to cook the noodles!!
Add in minced garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
For the last 30-45 minutes of cooking, add in a 16 oz. pkg. of egg noodles.
Cook until noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Serve immediately!
Enjoy!!
