How To Make the Easy Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles

Step 1: Prep the Crockpot

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray or use a liner for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

Place the beef stew meat in the bottom of the crockpot. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Pour the mixture over the beef.

Step 3: Slow Cook to Tender

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender. Stir occasionally if you’re home, but it’s not necessary.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

Near the end of the cooking time, boil the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss them with a little butter.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Spoon the beef tips and gravy over a bed of warm noodles. Serve with a sprinkle of parsley or cracked black pepper if desired.
