Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles 🍽️

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this simple, soul-warming meal. Feel free to double the meat (highly recommended!) if you’re feeding a crowd or want leftovers.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 lb stew meat (or chuck roast cut into cubes – next time, try 2 lbs for more servings!)

  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix

  • 1 packet brown gravy mix

  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)

  • 1 small can mushrooms (optional but adds a lovely umami note)

  • 1 can’s worth of beef broth (measured by refilling the cream of mushroom soup can)

  • Egg noodles, cooked separately

🔄 Pro Tip: You can easily swap in your favorite pasta like rotini, wide egg noodles, or even mashed potatoes for a creamy base.

Instructions

Step 1: Assemble Your Crockpot

Dump all the following into your slow cooker:

  • 1 lb stew meat

  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix

  • 1 packet brown gravy mix

  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 small can mushrooms

  • 1 can’s worth of beef broth (use the soup can to measure)

Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 2: Let It Cook Low and Slow

Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 8 hours. No stirring. No lifting the lid. Just let your slow cooker do the magic.

After 8 hours, you’ll have tender beef in a luscious, flavorful gravy that smells like a five-star pot roast.

💡 Busy day tip: Set this up in the morning, and by dinnertime your kitchen will smell like a cozy beefy dream!

Step 3: Cook Your Noodles

When the beef is nearly done, cook your egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

You can either stir the cooked noodles into the crockpot, or spoon the beef mixture right over the noodles in each bowl for a neater presentation.

🍽️ Optional Add-ins: Toss in some sour cream for a creamy stroganoff vibe, or a handful of shredded cheese for extra comfort.

Notes

🔁 Customization Ideas

This recipe is super flexible. Here’s how to make it your own:

  • More beef, same ingredients – Double the stew meat to 2 lbs, but keep the rest the same. You’ll still get plenty of gravy!

  • Extra veggies – Add in sliced carrots, onions, or peas during the last 2 hours of cooking.

  • Spicy kick – Mix in a teaspoon of crushed red pepper or a splash of hot sauce for heat lovers.

  • Creamier texture – Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream or cream cheese in the last 30 minutes.
