Step 1

Add the beef stew meat to your slow cooker.

Step 2

Sprinkle over the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder.

Step 3

Pour over the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.

Step 4

Stir. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours. The longer it cooks, the meat will become more tender.

Step 5

Near the end of the cooking time, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions on the stove top. I cook mine for 6 minutes. Do not overcook the noodles. Cook them to al dente.

Step 6

Drain the noodles and add them to the slow cooker with the meat and sauce. Also, add a 1/2 cup of the cheese. Stir.

Step 7

Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Place the lid back on and cook for 20 minutes more on the HIGH setting.

Step 8

Turn off the slow cooker and serve!
