Beef and Noodles {with Leftover Mississippi Pot Roast}
Description
Beef and Noodles {with Leftover Mississippi Pot Roast} brings together cooked egg noodles and shredded leftover pot roast in a savory broth base. The broth and water are boiled, and egg noodles cooked until tender before draining. Meanwhile, the pot roast is warmed and shredded finely, allowing the flavors and juices to integrate with the noodles when combined.
Stirring the shredded meat and its juices into the noodles creates a moist and flavorful dish with a robust beef flavor enhanced by the pot roast’s seasoning. The noodles soak up the juices, binding the components into a satisfying bowl. Garnishing with fresh chopped parsley adds a mildly herbal note and color contrast.
This dish is a practical way to repurpose leftover roasted beef into a new meal, stretching portions with noodles and broth. It can also be served over mashed potatoes for a different presentation and added comfort. The recipe relies on simple preparation but yields a warm, filling entree with tender beef and soft noodles carrying rich beef flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups beef broth (I use low sodium)
- 2 cups water
- 12 oz egg noodles uncooked
- 3 cups mississippi pot roast leftover
- parsley optional, chopped, fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, combine the beef broth and water and bring to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain the noodles and return them to the soup pot.
- While the noodles are cooking, warm up the leftover Mississippi Pot Roast and its juices in the microwave, or in a separate pot on the stove. Shred meat really well with two forks.
- Add the meat and its juices to the warm, cooked noodles and stir everything carefully, evenly disturbing the meat. Add more or less meat or juice to get the consistency to your liking, but this amount has worked well for me. Serve and sprinkle each bowl with chopped parsley, if you wish. You can even serve this over mashed potatoes! Yum!
