Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small can mushrooms, drained
- 1 can beef broth (use the cream of mushroom soup can to measure)
Noodles
- Egg noodles (for serving, about 8 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Place the beef stew meat into the crockpot, ensuring even distribution for consistent cooking.
- Add seasoning mix and soups: Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix and brown gravy mix evenly over the beef. Then add the cream of mushroom soup along with the drained mushrooms on top.
- Combine with broth: Pour in one can of beef broth, measured using the cream of mushroom soup can, and stir gently until all ingredients are well combined and mixed uniformly with the beef.
- Slow cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours. The beef should become tender and the flavors well blended by the end of this period.
- Cook egg noodles: About 10 to 15 minutes before the beef is done, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly.
- Serve: Spoon the beef tips and rich mushroom gravy over the cooked egg noodles. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting meal.
Notes
- For best flavor, cook the beef on Low for 6–8 hours rather than High for a shorter time.
- Ensure the mushrooms are well drained to avoid excess liquid in the crockpot.
- Egg noodles can be substituted with wide egg pasta or pappardelle for variation.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a thicker gravy, you can stir in a cornstarch slurry near the end of the cooking time.
