Slow Cooker Beef Noodle Casserole Ingredients
If you like mushroom beef stew or stroganoff, I just know you will love slow cooker beef and noodles with mushrooms. It’s one of the best easy recipes to choose. You will need beef stewing meat as the main ingredient, along with onion, garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon, broth, mushroom soup, and egg noodles.
I like to use beef broth and beef bouillon to enrich the flavour. You can use others for crockpot beef and noodles, such as vegetable bouillon if you prefer. The mushroom soup should be regular, not condensed. If you’re using condensed then make it up to 20 ounces adding as much water as the can specifies.
This is a great recipe for using stewing beef. This is much cheaper than a filet mignon of course, but slow cooking in liquid is just perfect for stewing beef. Your ‘beef n noodles’ is going to come out really tender and delicious!
It’s one of my favourite meals, for sure. Make extra – it keeps in an airtight container and is so simple to reheat. You can also make different variations but switching up some of the ingredients.
How to Make an Easy Crockpot Beef Recipe
It’s so simple to make crockpot beef and egg noodle dinner and it’s always a delicious meal. Maybe it will become one of your family favourites.
After adding the beef to the crockpot, add salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and bouillon powder on top.
Now mix the soup and broth with the Worcestershire sauce then pour this over the beef. Cook for 7 or 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.
About 20 minutes before the slow cooker beef noodle casserole is done, you can cook the dry noodles then divide them between serving dishes and ladle some of the stew on top. Alternatively you can stir the beef mixture with the noodles.
Perhaps you’re wondering whether you can cook the noodles in the crockpot with the other ingredients. You can but they can go from cooked to mush really fast, which is why I prefer to make them separately. That’s a great tip to get the perfect meal.
Any leftovers will be fine for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can thaw it overnight and warm it back up in a pan on the stove. This will be one of your family favorites because it is even better the next day!

Easy Crockpot Beef Recipe Variations
You will find the slow cooker beef and noodles with mushrooms delicious as it is. But it’s always nice to know some variations of this classic midwestern dish. You can add anything from chopped celery or mushrooms to broccoli or squash to the stew.
Use flat or twisty noodles, as you prefer. If you want, you could even omit those altogether and instead serve the stew over mashed potatoes or white rice.
You can even swap the beef for pork or veal if you want. Vary the type of broth you use or even consider subbing celery or cheese soup for the mushroom soup. If you aren’t using a creamy type of soup, throw ½ cup of cream to the mix if you like, for the most delicious recipe.
The good thing is, if you like mushroom beef stew or stroganoff, you can make the recipe different every time. No need to head to the store if you have cheese soup instead of mushroom soup in the pantry. You can use any kind of noodles or pasta here, or even make potatoes or rice.
A beef tips and noodle dinner using cream of mushroom soup is a warming, hearty dinner. Considering leftovers keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, you can enjoy this for two or more meals this week.
Another option is freezing the beef tips over noodles casserole in individual portions. The tender chunks of beef will be just as delicious when thawed and reheated.

If I want to just add the noodles to the Crock-Pot instead of cooking them on the stove when do I add them
I have not tried this, but I would suggest just the last bit (10 to 15 minutes) as it doesn’t take long to cook the noodles. It will vary based on the noodles you use, too. Look at the package for reference.
Great recipe, perfect for wintertime!
This is amazing! I added more better than bouillon (beef flavor) and added 1/4 red wine. On the family fav list.❤️
