🍲 Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Beef Stew Noodles
A super simple, hearty comfort meal where beef becomes tender in a slow cooker and is mixed with noodles and sauce. Minimal ingredients, maximum flavor.
🧾 Ingredients (Only 3 Main Ones)
- 500–700g beef (stew beef or boneless chunks)
- 1 packet dry soup mix or beef stew seasoning (or beef broth cube + spices)
- 250–300g noodles (egg noodles or spaghetti broken in half)
💡 Optional (not counted in 3 ingredients): water, salt, black pepper
👨🍳 How to Make It
1. Add beef to slow cooker
- Place beef chunks inside the slow cooker
2. Add seasoning + liquid
- Add soup mix or broth cube
- Pour in enough water to just cover the beef
- Stir lightly
3. Slow cook
- Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours
- Beef should become very soft and tender
4. Add noodles
- Add dry noodles in the last 20–30 minutes
- Stir and let them cook in the broth until soft
🍽️ Result
- Soft, shredded beef
- Flavorful broth
- Tender noodles soaked in sauce
🧠 Tips
- Don’t add noodles too early or they’ll become mushy
- If broth is too thick, add a little hot water before adding noodles
- You can shred the beef for a more stew-like texture
If you want, I can also give you:
- A creamy version (like beef stroganoff noodles)
- A spicy Asian-style slow cooker noodle version
- Or a high-protein gym-friendly version
