Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Broth
- 2 1/2 lbs chuck roast
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 packet au jus mix
- 1 (14 oz) can beef consommé
- 1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 12 oz canned whole mushrooms
Noodles and Cream
- 8 oz medium egg noodles
- 1 cup milk or cream
Serving
- Mashed potatoes, for serving
Instructions
- Sear the Chuck Roast: Heat a skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned. This step seals in the flavor and creates a savory crust.
- Prepare in Slow Cooker: Place the seared chuck roast into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion soup mix and au jus mix evenly over the roast. Pour the beef consommé and cream of mushroom soup over the roast and gently mix to combine flavors. Add the canned mushrooms on top.
- Cook on Low: Cover and cook the roast on the LOW setting for 6 hours to allow the meat to become tender and infused with flavor.
- Shred the Meat and Add Noodles: After 6 hours, use two forks to finely shred the chuck roast within the broth. Stir in the uncooked medium egg noodles, cover again, and cook on HIGH for 1 hour until the noodles are tender.
- Finish with Cream: Stir in 1 cup of milk or cream thoroughly to add richness and creaminess to the beef and noodles.
- Serve: Spoon a generous portion of the beef and noodles over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes for a delicious and hearty meal.
Notes
- For faster preparation, use the sauté or roast setting on your slow cooker to sear the meat directly in the pot instead of using a skillet.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce the liquids slightly before adding the noodles or stir in a slurry of cornstarch and water at the end.
- Using cream instead of milk will make the dish richer and more indulgent.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stove or in a microwave.
- Serving the dish over mashed potatoes adds extra comfort and soaks up the delicious sauce.
