Crockpot Beef Tips and Noodles

Ingredients :

1 lb stew meat (increase to 2 lbs for a meatier dish)

1 packet Lipton onion soup mix

1 packet brown gravy mix

1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

1 small can mushrooms (optional, but highly recommended)

1 can beef broth (use the empty cream of mushroom soup can to measure)

Egg noodles (cooked separately according to package directions)

Instructions :

Prepare the Crockpot:

In the crockpot, combine stew meat, Lipton onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, and mushrooms. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.

Add Beef Broth:

Fill the empty cream of mushroom soup can with beef broth and add it to the crockpot. Stir everything together.

Slow Cook:

Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the gravy has thickened.

Cook Egg Noodles:

About 15 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Serve:

Plate the cooked egg noodles and top with the tender beef tips and plenty of gravy. Enjoy!

Notes:

Beef Choice: You can use stew meat or sirloin tips, cut into bite-sized pieces.

Extra Flavor: Mushrooms add an earthy depth to the dish, but are optional.

Thicker Gravy: For a thicker gravy, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with cold water and add during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Noodle Alternatives: This dish also pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered pasta.

Storage Tips: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of beef broth to revive the gravy.
