How this recipe comes together
Creating this mouthwatering dish is as easy as one, two, three. First, you’ll gather all your ingredients, throw them into the crockpot, and let it do its magic. The gentle cooking method transforms stew meat into tender bites while marrying the flavors of onion soup and mushroom. Once that’s done, a quick boil of egg noodles ties the entire meal together, making cleanup a breeze and leaving you more time to relax after dinner.
What you’ll need
For this delightful meal, you’ll require:
- 1 lb stew meat: This is the star protein that becomes tender and flavorful in the slow cooker.
- 1 pack of Lipton onion soup mix: For that robust flavor.
- 1 pack of brown gravy mix: Adds depth and a lovely glossy finish.
- 1 can of cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz): This brings creaminess and richness to the dish.
- 1 small can of mushrooms: For added texture and taste.
- 1 can’s worth of beef broth: Enhances the beefy flavor.
- Egg noodles: The perfect base for serving.
For variations, you could use beef chuck instead of stew meat or substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken for a different flavor profile.
