Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles
If you’re looking for a hearty, comforting meal with minimal prep, this Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles recipe is a treasure! With tender beef and savory gravy, it’s a simple yet delicious dish that cooks itself while you go about your day. Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb stew meat (double to 2 lbs if you like more meat without altering other ingredients)
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small can of mushrooms (drained)
- 1 can’s worth of beef broth (just fill up the mushroom soup can)
- Egg noodles (cooked according to package instructions for serving)
Directions:
Step 1: Set Up Your Crockpot
- Prepare the crockpot: Make sure your crockpot is clean and ready to go. No need to grease it since the moisture from the ingredients will prevent sticking.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
- Add the beef: Place the stew meat into the crockpot. This will form the base of your dish.
- Mix in the flavor packets: Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix and brown gravy mix over the beef.
- Add the soups and broth: Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and the canned mushrooms. Fill the empty cream of mushroom soup can with beef broth and add it to the crockpot.
- Stir everything together: Give all the ingredients a good mix to ensure the flavors will meld together as they cook.
Step 3: Cook
- Set to cook: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for about 8 hours. This slow cooking process will make the beef incredibly tender and flavorful.
Step 4: Prepare Noodles
- Cook the noodles: When the beef is nearly done, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain well.
Step 5: Serve
- Combine and serve: Spoon the beef tips and gravy over the freshly cooked noodles. Mix gently to combine.
Tips:
- Next Time Adjustments: As noted, if you prefer more meat, feel free to use 2 lbs of stew meat with the same amounts of other ingredients for a meatier dish.
- Serving Suggestion: This dish pairs beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad to add some freshness.
