Crockpot beef tips & noodles
Ingredients
1lb stew meat
1 Pack of liption onion soup mix
1 Pack of brown gravy mix
1 can of cream of mushroom (10.5 oz can)
1 small can of mushrooms
1 cans worth of beef broth (I dumped the broth into the cream of mushroom can)

Directions
All I did was dump all the ingredients into the crockpot & mixed (besides noodles) and cooked on low for 8hrs. Cooked noodles when done!
Next time I would use 2lbs of meat but with the same measurements
10 tips to make perfect Crockpot beef tips & noodles:
1. Choose the Right Cut of Beef 🥩
- Use cuts like chuck roast or stew meat, as they become tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.
2. Brown the Beef First 🔥
- Searing the beef in a hot pan before adding it to the crockpot enhances the flavor by caramelizing the surface.
3. Season Generously 🌿
- Season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other favorite herbs or spices before cooking.
4. Use Beef Broth for Depth 🍲
- Instead of water, use beef broth to add richness to the dish. For extra depth, add a splash of red wine.
5. Layer Ingredients Thoughtfully 🥕
- Place root vegetables like carrots and potatoes at the bottom, followed by the beef, to ensure even cooking.
6. Cook on Low for Tenderness ⏳
- Set your crockpot to low and cook for 6-8 hours. This slow and steady approach makes the beef tender.
7. Thicken the Sauce 🍛
- If the sauce is too thin, mix cornstarch with a bit of cold water and stir it into the crockpot 30 minutes before serving.
8. Don’t Overcook the Noodles 🍝
- Cook the noodles separately and add them to the crockpot just before serving to avoid them becoming mushy.
9. Check for Seasoning Before Serving 🧂
- Taste the dish before serving and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs.
10. Garnish with Fresh Herbs 🌱
- A sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme just before serving adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked Crockpot beef tips & noodles!
