This is so good, I wouldn't mind having it daily.

There’s nothing quite like coming home to the comforting aroma of a slow cooker meal, especially on those busy weekdays. Beef tips and noodles is a classic Midwest dish that brings back memories of family dinners and Sunday suppers. It's hearty, flavorful, and super easy to prepare, making it perfect for anyone with a hectic schedule. Plus, who doesn't love a good savory meal that practically cooks itself while you’re at work?

This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad to balance out the richness of the beef. You might also consider serving it with a slice of warm, crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy. For an extra touch, a glass of your favorite red wine could complement the flavors beautifully.

Servings: 6

2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into cubes
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces egg noodles
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Place the beef stew meat, diced onion, and minced garlic into the slow cooker.

Pour in the beef broth, then add the dry onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender.

During the last 30 minutes of cooking, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the gravy.

Add the cooked egg noodles to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the beef and sauce.

Serve the beef tips and noodles hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

For a twist on this classic recipe, try adding some sliced mushrooms or baby carrots to the slow cooker for extra veggies. If you prefer a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can do wonders. You can also substitute the egg noodles with mashed potatoes or rice if you're in the mood for something different. For a richer flavor, consider using red wine in place of some of the beef broth. And if you're short on time in the morning, prepping the ingredients the night before can make the morning setup a breeze.
