Recipe Notes
- Instead of chuck steak, use a chuck roast or your favorite cut of meat. You do not need an expensive cut of beef for this recipe.
- For some creaminess, stir in a little sour cream (think beef stroganoff).
Here's how to make it:
- Brown the meat about 1 minute on each side in a skillet with a little cooking oil. Put it into a slow cooker. Add the broth, water and onion soup mix.
- Cook on high for 2 hours, then low for 2 hours.
- Add the cooked noodles to the slow cooker. Let the noodles sit in the slow cooker for about 5 to 10 minutes or until everything is heated through. Serve.
