How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create a mouthwatering meal:

1. Season the roast generously with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. I don’t measure; I just make sure it’s well seasoned!
2. In the Crockpot, mix together the gravy packets, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth. Whisk until everything is well combined.
3. Place the seasoned roast into the Crockpot, ensuring it’s fully covered with the liquid.
4. Cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 6-8 hours. The longer, the better for tender beef!
5. Once done, remove the meat and shred it with two forks, then return it to the Crockpot.
6. Prepare the Reames noodles according to the package directions. Once they’re done cooking, add them into the Crockpot and stir everything well. Season to taste if needed and sprinkle with parsley for a pop of color if desired.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Beef and Noodles in the Crockpot turns out perfectly every time:

• For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the broth mixture.
• If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Feel free to add vegetables like carrots or peas for a more balanced meal.
• For a twist, try using Crockpot Chicken And Noodles instead of beef for a lighter option!

How to Serve

This dish is best served hot, straight from the Crockpot. I love to pair it with a side salad or some crusty bread to soak up that delicious gravy. You can also serve it with a side of Bacon Ranch Potatoes for a complete meal that your family will adore!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare this meal ahead of time, you can season the roast and mix the gravy ingredients the night before. Just store them in the fridge and pop them in the Crockpot in the morning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, and enjoy it again!
