How to Make Amish Beef Gravy Noodles

1. Add the Beef to the Slow Cooker

Place the beef chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Sprinkle the onion soup mix and both packets of brown gravy mix evenly over the beef. Pour the beef broth over everything.

2. Slow Cook the Beef

Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is extremely tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

3. Shred the Beef

Carefully remove the cooked beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

Return the shredded beef to the gravy and stir well so the meat becomes coated in the rich sauce.

4. Add the Egg Noodles

Stir the frozen egg noodles into the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the noodles are tender and completely coated in the gravy.

5. Serve

Give everything one final stir. Once the noodles are soft and the gravy has thickened around the beef, serve immediately while hot.

What to Serve With Beef Gravy Noodles

Because this dish is rich and hearty, simple sides work best. Serve it with:

• Steamed green beans
• Roasted carrots
• Buttered corn
• A crisp green salad
• Warm dinner rolls
• Crusty bread

The bread is especially good for soaking up the extra beef gravy.

Variations

Add Mushrooms

For an extra savory flavor, add about 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms during the last hour of cooking.

Use Homemade Egg Noodles

Homemade egg noodles can give the dish an even more traditional, old-fashioned feel. Keep an eye on the liquid and add a little extra broth if necessary.

Thicken the Gravy

If the gravy is thinner than you prefer, remove the lid and cook on HIGH for several minutes, stirring gently. The noodles will also absorb some of the liquid as they finish cooking.

Make-Ahead Tip

The beef can be cooked and shredded earlier in the day. When you’re ready for dinner, simply return the beef to the slow cooker and add the frozen noodles near the end of cooking.

This makes the recipe especially convenient when you have a busy evening ahead.

Storage and Leftovers

Store leftover beef gravy noodles in a covered container in the refrigerator. The noodles will continue absorbing the gravy as they sit, so add a small splash of beef broth when reheating if needed.

Reheat gently until hot throughout.
