Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Sauce
- 1 lb stew meat
- 1 pack Lipton onion soup mix (about 1.25 oz)
- 1 pack brown gravy mix (about 1 oz)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small can mushrooms, drained (approximately 4 oz)
- 1 can beef broth (10.5 oz, same size as soup can)
Noodles
- Egg noodles, amount as desired (typically 8 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Gather all ingredients and ensure the crockpot is clean and ready for use.
- Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Add the stew meat, onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, drained mushrooms, and beef broth to the crockpot. Stir gently until everything is well combined.
- Slow Cook the Beef: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours. This slow cooking process tenderizes the beef deeply and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Cook the Noodles: About 30 minutes before the beef is done, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Combine Noodles and Beef Tips: When the beef is tender and the sauce is rich, stir the cooked egg noodles into the crockpot. Mix well to ensure the noodles are fully coated with the flavorful beef gravy.
- Serve: Spoon the beef tips and noodles onto plates or bowls and serve immediately while hot, enjoying this warm, hearty meal.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, you can stir in a slurry of cornstarch and water about 30 minutes before serving and cook until thickened.
- If you prefer, substituting fresh mushrooms for canned will give a fresher flavor but may require a slight adjustment in broth or cooking time.
- You can use other types of noodles like egg noodles or pappardelle based on availability and preference.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- Ensure the beef stew meat is cut into uniform pieces for even cooking.
