Ingredients

Units Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 2 1/2 lbs chuck roast
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 packet au jus mix
  • 1 (14 oz) can beef consommé
  • 1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 12 oz canned whole mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Noodles and Cream

  • 8 oz medium egg noodles (uncooked)
  • 1 cup milk or cream

Serving

  • Mashed potatoes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sear the Chuck Roast: Heat a skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned, which helps lock in flavor. Alternatively, use the “Roast” or “Sauté” setting on your slow cooker if available to brown the meat.
  2. Prepare Slow Cooker: Transfer the seared chuck roast to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion soup mix and au jus mix evenly over the roast. Pour the beef consommé and cream of mushroom soup on top and stir slightly to combine. Add the canned whole mushrooms, distributing them evenly.
  3. Slow Cook the Roast: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and infuse with the rich broth and seasoning.
  4. Shred the Beef and Add Noodles: Once cooked, finely shred the chuck roast directly in the slow cooker broth using two forks. Stir in the uncooked egg noodles, then cover again and increase the heat to HIGH. Cook for an additional 1 hour until the noodles are tender.
  5. Add Cream and Serve: Pour in the milk or cream and stir thoroughly to combine, creating a creamy sauce with the beef and noodles. Serve the mixture hot over a bed of mashed potatoes for a hearty to satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use chuck roast as it becomes tender and juicy after slow cooking.
  • Browning the meat before slow cooking deepens the flavor but can be omitted if short on time.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model; ensure noodles are fully cooked before serving.
  • If preferred, substitute cream with milk for a lighter sauce.
  • This recipe serves 8 comfortably and is ideal for family gatherings or meal prepping.
