Crock Pot Beef And Noodles

Ingredients

2 ½ pounds beef chuck roast
1 large onion diced
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
4 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
12 ounces wide egg noodles
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup water
parsley chopped fresh, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Season the beef with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear on all both sides until browned. About 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.

Add the chopped onion and mushrooms to the slow cooker around the beef. Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker over the beef and vegetables. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.Cover the slow cooker. Choose your settings. Cook for 4-6 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low until the beef is tender and cooked through.

About 30 minutes before serving, cook the wide egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Put the beef back in the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce.

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker contents to thicken the sauce. Let it cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on high heat until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Add the cooked noodles to the slow cooker and gently stir to combine with the beef and vegetables.

Serve the beef and noodles hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
