Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 2–3 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Pasta

  • 12 oz egg noodles

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season the beef: Generously season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides to enhance the flavor.
  2. Prepare slow cooker: Place the seasoned chuck roast into the slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, sprinkle the onion soup mix over the beef, and add Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without disturbing the beef too much.
  3. Cook the beef: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or on high heat for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and shreds easily.
  4. Cook egg noodles: About 30 minutes before the beef finishes cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  5. Shred the beef: Using two forks or tongs, shred the beef directly in the slow cooker, mixing it well into the broth so it absorbs the savory flavors.
  6. Combine noodles and beef: Add the cooked egg noodles to the shredded beef in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat the noodles with the beef and broth mixture.
  7. Warm through: Let the combined beef and noodles warm for an additional 10 to 15 minutes on low heat to meld the flavors.
  8. Serve: Spoon the beef and noodles onto plates or bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sear the beef roast in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side before placing it in the slow cooker.
  • Leftover beef and noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use gluten-free noodles to make this recipe gluten free if needed.
  • Adding fresh vegetables like carrots or mushrooms at the start of cooking can enhance the meal’s nutrition and flavor.
  • If the broth is too thin after cooking, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir into the slow cooker, cooking another 10 minutes to thicken.
