Noodles
- 12 oz egg noodles

Instructions
- Season the Beef: Generously season the beef chuck roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance its flavor.
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned beef in the slow cooker. Add the beef broth, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently stir to combine the broth mixture around the beef without removing it from the bottom.
- Cook the Beef: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Cook the Noodles: About 30 minutes before the beef finishes cooking, prepare the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Shred the Beef: Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using forks or tongs. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine it with the broth.
- Add Noodles and Warm Through: Stir the cooked egg noodles into the slow cooker, coating them with the beef and broth mixture. Let everything warm together for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your comforting slow cooker beef and noodles!
Notes
- Use beef chuck roast for the best tenderness and flavor when slow cooked.
- Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder according to your taste preference.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking on high to reduce the broth.
- Fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese add a nice freshness and richness but are optional.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
