🥘Ingredient Notes
For exact amounts needed see the recipe card below
- Beef Stew Meat—Or a roast, cubed.
- Egg Noodles—I love the shape of extra-wide egg noodles. But really, any dried egg noodle will work.

- Worcestershire Sauce—Just a splash will enhance the natural beefy flavors in this dish.
- Beef Broth—Unsalted broth works best.

🍴Serving Ideas
Because this crock pot beef and noodles is rich and hearty, I usually serve it with lighter sides. Try pairing your beef with a crisp, refreshing salad, roasted asparagus, or fresh fruit. A few slices of garlic bread make an excellent addition.

⭐Tips
Be sure to check out the step by step instructions
- Use a Crock Pot liner for easy cleanup.
- Want to add some extra nutrition to this beef noodle casserole? Try tossing 1-2 cups of vegetables into the slow cooker with the beef! My favorite additions are peas, yellow onions, green beans, carrots, mushrooms, or celery.
- Stir in a cup of sour cream to give it a beef stroganoff flavor for a classic family meal.
- If the sauce seems too thick add another half cup of broth and stir in the crock pot.
📝FAQ
Because noodles tend to get mushy when cooked in the slow cooker, I recommend cooking them separately! About 30 minutes before your beef is ready to serve, cook the egg noodles on the stovetop according to package directions. Avoid letting the noodles sit in the gravy for too long before serving.
It is unnecessary, but if you have time, go for it! Browning your beef before adding it to the crockpot will add a depth of flavor to the meat you can taste.
The best way to get tender beef is to cook the meat on low heat for extended periods. This slow braise will create deliciously soft and juicy chunks of meat.
