Here are some commonly asked questions

How to Store Leftover Beef and Noodles

Place any leftovers in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, the easiest way will be to place individual portions on microwave-safe plates and microwave for 1-2 minutes each.

You can add a splash of milk or water to the top, cover, and microwave. The added moisture will keep the dish from getting dried out or taking on a gummy texture.

Can this be made with ground beef?

Yes – this recipe can be made with ground beef. However, you will need to brown the ground beef and drain it PRIOR TO adding it to the slow cooker. Please do not try to cook raw ground beef in the slow cooker. It will not turn out the same.

Ingredients for Beef and Noodles

• beef stew meat or beef roast cut into chunks

• dried basil

• onion powder
• garlic powder

• freshly ground pepper
• cream of mushroom soup – undiluted

• egg noodles – extra wide – dried

Can I make Beef and Noodles ahead of time?

Yes, you can certainly make this recipe ahead of time. Simply prepare the dish as directed and refrigerate it until you’re ready to cook it.

Can I cook the egg noodles in the crockpot?

I have heard of some people doing this. I think you will need to increase the amount of water or broth to account for what will be absorbed into the noodles.

The noodles will need to cook in the slow cooker for at least an hour prior to serving – but it could take longer depending on your cooker.

Can Beef and Noodles be made in the Instant Pot?

You bet! If you want to make this in the pressure cooker instead of the slow cooker – follow these steps.

1. Place the meat and seasonings in the Instant Pot insert along with the broth.
2. Cook on manual high pressure for 15 minutes and then allow for a natural pressure release.
3. While the meat is cooking, cook the noodles on the stovetop. Drain.
4. Once the meat is done cooking and the pressure has been released, remove the lid. Stir in the sauce mixture and the noodles. Serve.

How to Make Beef and Noodles on the Stovetop

You can make this dinner recipe on the stovetop if you like. Here’s how to do it…

1. Place the meat and seasonings in a large stockpot along with the broth.
2. Simmer over medium-low for at least an hour or until the meat is cooked through and tender.
3. While the meat is simmering, cook the noodles in a separate pot on the stovetop. Drain.
4. Once the meat and noodles are done cooking, stir in the sauce mixture and add the noodles to the pot with the beef. Serve.

How to Make Beef and Noodles in the Crockpot

4. Sprinkle the mixture over the meat and stir to coat.

11. Allow them to heat in the mixture if necessary.
12. Serve immediately.
13. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze Beef and Noodles?

Yes, this recipe freezes well. Simply prepare the dish as directed and freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat it, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat it in a pot on the stovetop over medium heat. You might need to add a splash of water when reheating.

Tips for Making the BEST Beef and Noodles Recipe

• Add a cup of heavy cream or evaporated milk to the mixture prior to serving to make the sauce extra creamy.
• You can use water or a bullion mix instead of the beef broth if desired.
• For added texture, seer the meat in a skillet prior to adding it to the slow cooker.

Should I shred the beef prior to serving?

Personally, I will do it if I see the pieces are already so tender that they are falling apart. Shredded meat is a huge weakness for me – so I’m always happy to add that step if the situation allows. But it isn’t necessary.
