Here’s a simple recipe for crockpot beef tips and noodles:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 to 2 pounds beef stew meat (or beef tips)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup beef gravy (or 1 cup additional beef broth with 2 tablespoons of flour or cornstarch)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz egg noodles
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Beef: Season the beef tips with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown the beef tips over medium-high heat, then transfer them to the crockpot.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the crockpot.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, beef gravy (or additional beef broth with flour/cornstarch), cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the beef and onions in the crockpot.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Prepare the Noodles: About 30 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Combine: Once the beef is tender, stir in the cooked egg noodles. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
