This Slow Cooker Beef and Noodles is a soul-satisfying winter meal that the whole family will enjoy. Only 20 minutes of prep and then it’s one of those set it and forget it meals that your family will request again and again!
When I asked a few weeks back what type of meals you guys would be looking for this year, comfort food and slow cooker meals were high on the list.Both are quite popular here, so I’ll be dishing up some deliciousness in both categories in the next few months.
First up, my Slow Cooker Beef and Noodles.
I mean who doesn’t love a slow cooker meal? Tom’s a huge fan because his mom made them all the time when he was growing up.
And I’m a fan because it’s one of those meals that’s just a set it and forget it kinda meal. It’s dinner made super easy. And of course, super delicious.
Tom loves this one because it’s beef which ranks high up on his list of favorites. And it’s got mushrooms and onions, a veggie combination he never tires of.
Slow Cooker Beef and Noodles Ingredients
- beef chuck roast
- all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper
- vegetable oil
- yellow onion
- garlic
- beef broth
- sliced mushrooms
- dried
- thyme
- wide egg noodles
- dried parsley
I love to use a boneless beef chuck roast that I cut into cubes. I sear the cubes first in a skillet and brown the onions before adding to the slow cooker. Then just add it all to the cooker with some beef broth, mushrooms and thyme and cook on high for about four hours until the meat is nice and tender.
Thirty minutes before serving, I add the egg noodles and turn the cooker to low.
I thought I would be tempted to add a bit of sour cream or maybe thicken up the sauce with a bit of flour, but we really enjoyed it as is.
This is one cozy meal for the fall and winter months. It’s a winner for those busy weeknights, but also perfect for those lazy weekends.

A Few Cook’s Notes for Slow Cooker Beef and Noodles
I like to use a boneless chuck roast for this recipe, but you could also buy beef cubes from your local meat market.
If you’re not a fan of mushrooms you could just omit them from the recipe.

Very delicious and satisfying recipe! I wanted a beef + noodle dish that didn’t contain tomatoes, red wine, or sour cream and I found yours!
I substituted the egg noodles with egg pappardelle nests I already had on hand; I’m glad I did because the pasta was hearty enough to absorb the broth and still retain its shape. It was delicious the next day and will definitely make it again! *pinned*

You never mentioned whether the egg noodles were raw or cooked when they are added to the slow cooker.
Reply
- Mary Ann
The egg noodles are added to the recipe right from the bag. They cook in the slow cooker. Hope you enjoy it Diane!
