Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crock Pot Beef & Noodles
  1. Begin by cutting your beef chuck roast into bite-sized chunks and adding them to your crock pot. Next, finely chop one onion and mince a few cloves of garlic; then throw them in with the beef.
  2. Pour in a generous amount of beef broth along with a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle dried thyme, black pepper, and salt over the mixture, then stir to combine.
  3. Cover your crock pot and set it to low for about 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. The goal is for the beef to become fork-tender.
  4. Approximately 30-40 minutes before serving, add the egg noodles to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth for a delicious flavor.
  5. If you prefer a thicker broth, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and stir it in during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  6. Taste the broth, adjust seasoning as needed, and serve the beef and noodles in bowls, optionally garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Browning the beef before adding enhances flavor. Monitor noodle cooking time to prevent mushiness. Adjust seasoning as needed and prep veggies the night before for convenience.
