Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2-3 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt (pepper, and garlic powder to taste)
  • 12 oz egg noodles
Optional garnishes
  • fresh parsley
  • grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place it in the slow cooker.
  2. Add beef broth, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Stir gently.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  2. About 30 minutes before the beef is done, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Shred the beef in the slow cooker using tongs or forks. Stir to combine with the broth.
  4. Add the cooked egg noodles to the slow cooker and stir to coat them in the broth and shredded beef. Let everything warm through for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with parsley or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Serve in warm bowls. Pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables. For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat properly before serving again.
