There is something so special about a warm bowl of beef and noodles when the weather starts to cool down. It is the kind of dinner that feels like a big hug, and it is a favorite in my house because it is budget friendly and feeds a crowd easily.

To make this dish, you want to cook your chuck roast low and slow until it pulls apart with just a fork. Adding the egg noodles at the very end ensures they soak up all that savory broth without getting mushy.

🧺 Ingredients

2 pounds chuck roast
4 cups beef broth
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
12 ounces wide egg noodles
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
2
Place the roast into a large pot or slow cooker along with the beef broth, diced onion, garlic, and thyme.
3
Cook on low heat for six to eight hours until the beef is very tender and shreds easily.
4
Remove the beef from the pot and shred it into bite sized pieces using two forks.
5
Bring the remaining broth in the pot to a boil and add the egg noodles.
6
Cook the noodles in the broth until they are tender according to the package directions.
7
Stir the shredded beef back into the pot with the butter and let it heat through before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You might need to add a splash of extra beef broth when reheating, as the noodles tend to soak up the sauce while sitting.
