Ingredients
- 1 pound beef chuck roast cubed, or stew meat
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 ¾ cups less sodium beef broth
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 bay leaf
- 16 ounces medium egg noodles
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in small batches, and cook until all sides are browned. Transfer to a 6 qt. slow cooker.
- Add the butter and onion to the skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes or just until the onion begins to soften. Add to the slow cooker.
- Add the broth, bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and bay leaf to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours or until the beef is fork-tender. Remove bay leaf.
- Add the dried noodles and cream to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Cover and cook for an additional 20 to 35 minutes or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.

Notes
- Egg noodles can vary in thickness and cooking time. Check the noodles early to ensure they don't overcook—add extra cooking time if needed.
- For a thicker sauce, add a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water when the noodles are added to the crockpot. Mix well.
- If not using a bouillon cube, full sodium beef broth should be used.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days, or frozen in freezer bags for up to 4 months.
