Crock Pot Beef and Noodles

Step 1

Optional: Brown the roast. Place a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and the beef. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until slightly browned.

Step 2

Place the beef in the crock pot along with the broth, onion, garlic, Worchestershire sauce and Italian seasoning. Seal the lid and set to cook for 6-7 hours on Low or 4 hours on High, or until the meat is tender.

Step 3

Use two forks to shred the beef into bit-size pieces in the crock pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then add the noodles.

Step 4

Cover and set the crock pot to cook on High for 10-20 minutes until al dente (Note: the time will vary based on the noodles you're using).

Step 5

To thicken the sauce, stir in the cream or cornstarch slurry. Let it bubble for a few minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. The gravy will thicken more as it cools. Serve warm.
