Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet brown gravy mix 0.87-ounce packet
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix 0.87-ounce packet
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles uncooked
  • salt a pinch at the end, if needed
  • black pepper a pinch at the end, if needed
  • 3 tablespoons brown gravy mix approximate total amount from the two packets

Instructions
 

  • Place the raw ground beef in the bottom of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker and break it into large chunks without browning it first.
  • Sprinkle both packets of brown gravy mix evenly over the ground beef.
  • Pour the low-sodium beef broth evenly over the beef and gravy mix without stirring.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, checking toward the early end, until the beef is fully cooked and easy to break apart.
  • Break the cooked beef into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula and stir until the broth, gravy mix, and beef form a smooth gravy; skim off excess fat if needed.
  • Add the uncooked wide egg noodles to the slow cooker, press them mostly into the hot gravy, and stir them as evenly as possible.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the noodles are tender but not mushy and the gravy has thickened.
  • Taste the beef gravy noodles and add salt and black pepper only if needed, then serve hot from the slow cooker.

Notes

Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. The noodles absorb more gravy as they sit, so add a splash of beef broth or water before reheating and stir halfway through. Reheat individual portions in the microwave in short bursts or warm larger portions gently in a saucepan with extra broth. Freezing is possible, but the noodles will be softer after thawing.
