Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat or chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 cups egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the beef pieces until well-seared on all sides. This step is optional but adds rich depth of flavor.
  • Transfer the beef to the slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easy to shred with a fork.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, remove the bay leaf and add the egg noodles to the slow cooker. Stir to combine with the beef and cooking liquid.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the flour and water to create a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
  • Add the Worcestershire sauce, stir well, and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  • Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy the warm, nostalgic flavors.

Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes or a simple green salad for a complete comforting meal. Leftovers reheat beautifully and make a great lunch the next day.
