Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds beef stew meat
- 12 ounces dry wide egg noodles
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
- ½ cup sour cream
Slow Cooker Amish-Style Egg Noodle Beef: Directions
- Get your slow cooker ready. If you’d like, rub a small amount of grease or nonstick spray inside your slow cooker to keep food from sticking. Place the raw beef stew meat in the bottom of the slow cooker, spreading it out into one flat, even layer so it cooks evenly.
- Add the seasoning and noodles. Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly across the top of the beef so every piece gets some flavor. Next, take the dry egg noodles and spread them in a smooth, even layer over the beef. Don’t stir yet — just let the layers stay stacked on top of each other.
- Mix and pour the sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and the beef broth. Keep whisking until the mixture turns smooth with no lumps. Slowly and evenly pour this soup mixture over the top of the noodles, making sure it covers them well. Do not stir the layers together yet — this helps everything cook evenly.
- Cook low and slow. Put the lid on your slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the beef feels tender enough to pull apart easily and the noodles have turned soft. If you notice your slow cooker tends to run hot, check on the dish around the 5 ½-hour mark, and stir in a small splash of extra broth if it looks too thick or dry.
- Stir in the sour cream and serve. Once the beef and noodles are fully cooked, turn off the slow cooker. Add the sour cream and stir it in well until it blends completely into the sauce, making it smooth and creamy. Let the dish sit for about 5 minutes so the sauce can thicken slightly before you serve it warm.
