Ingredients

• 2 - 3 pounds chuck steak, sliced 1/4-inch think
• 1 ounce (1 envelope) dry onion soup mix
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 cups water
• 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked according to package directions to al dente

Here's how to make it: 

1. 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. (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.)
2. Cook on high for 2 hours, then low for 2 hours.
3. 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. (For some creaminess, stir in a little sour cream. Think beef stroganoff.) Serve.
