Recipe Tips

• Can I cook the noodles in the crock pot? It’s best to cook them separately to avoid sogginess, then stir them in just before serving.
• What type of beef works best? Stew meat is ideal, but chuck roast cut into chunks also works well.
• How to thicken the sauce: If needed, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the slow cooker in the last 15 minutes.
• Can I use a different soup? Cream of celery or cream of onion can be used for a flavor variation.
• How to make it more flavorful: Add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra depth.
