How to Make This Crockpot Beef Tips and Noodles
Gather your ingredients and let’s dive into the cooking process!
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. In your crockpot, place the stew meat, Lipton onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, and mushrooms (if using them). Make sure everything is well mixed. It’ll smell fantastic, and you haven’t even started cooking yet!
Add the Broth: Next, take the empty cream of mushroom soup can and fill it with beef broth. Pour the broth into the crockpot and stir everything together. This ensures the flavors meld perfectly as they cook, and trust me, it will be worth the wait!
Set It Up: Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The goal is to let the beef become so tender that it practically melts in your mouth. Plus, the gravy will thicken and develop a rich, deep flavor during the cooking process. So satisfying!
Cook the Noodles: About 15 minutes before you’re ready to serve, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Once they’re done, drain them and set them aside. This will be the perfect base for that savory beef and gravy!
Serve It Up: To serve, place a generous helping of noodles on each plate and top them with the succulent beef tips and plenty of that savory gravy. This meal is comfort food at its finest!
