\u200bSlow Cooker Beef, Tomatoes, and Noodles<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bPrep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 6\u20138 hours (Low) or 4 hours (High) | Servings: 6<\/p>\n \u200bIngredients<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200b1.5\\text{ to }2\\text{ lbs} beef stew meat (or chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes)<\/p>\n \u200b2 cans (14.5\\text{ oz} each) stewed tomatoes (with their juices)<\/p>\n \u200b1 can (15\\text{ oz}) tomato sauce (or 2\\text{ tbsp} tomato paste + 1\\text{ cup} beef broth for a deeper gravy)<\/p>\n \u200b1 medium yellow onion, chopped<\/p>\n \u200b2 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n \u200b1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried basil and oregano)<\/p>\n \u200b1 tsp salt<\/p>\n \u200b1\/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper<\/p>\n \u200b1 bag (12\\text{ to }16\\text{ oz}) wide egg noodles (Kluski or homestyle egg noodles hold up best!)<\/p>\n \u200bFor serving: Fresh chopped parsley<\/p>\n \u200bStep-by-Step Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200b1. Sear the Beef (Optional but recommended)<\/p>\n \u200bFor the deepest flavor, heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n \u200bPat the beef dry, season it lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sear the cubes for about 2\u20133 minutes until a nice brown crust forms. (If you’re in a rush, you can skip this and throw the raw beef straight into the crockpot!)<\/p>\n \u200b2. Set the Slow Cooker<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bTransfer the browned beef into the slow cooker.<\/p>\n \u200bAdd the chopped onion, minced garlic, both cans of stewed tomatoes (break them up slightly with a spoon if the pieces are too large), tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n \u200bStir everything together until well combined.<\/p>\n \u200b3. Low and Slow<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bCover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours (or on HIGH for 4 hours), until the beef is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [adinserter block=”4″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u200b4. Cook the Noodles<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bThe Traditional Way (Best texture): About 20 minutes before serving, boil the egg noodles in a separate pot of salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well, then gently fold the hot noodles straight into the slow cooker pot so they can absorb the tomato broth for 5 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n \u200bThe One-Pot Way: Alternatively, you can stir the uncooked egg noodles directly into the slow cooker liquid during the last 20\u201330 minutes of cooking on High, though you may need to add an extra 1\/2 cup of beef broth or water to make sure there’s enough liquid for them to expand.<\/p>\n \u200b5. Finish and Serve<\/p>\n \u200bLadle the thick, steaming noodles and beef into deep bowls.<\/p>\n \u200bGarnish with a generous sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and extra cracked black pepper.<\/p>\n \u200b💡 Variations to Try<\/p>\n \u200bMake it Italian-Style: Stir in a spoonful of grated Parmesan cheese right at the end and add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.<\/p>\n \u200bCabbage Twist: Many old-school versions of this recipe throw a few cups of chopped green cabbage into the slow cooker alongside the tomatoes\u2014it melts right into the sauce and pairs perfectly with the beef.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [adinserter block=”5″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adinserter block=”3″] \u200bSlow Cooker Beef, Tomatoes, and Noodles \u200bPrep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 6\u20138 hours (Low)…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":915,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=914"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1943,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/914\/revisions\/1943"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
