What kind of beef roast is best for this recipe?
In Canada, roast beef cuts are labelled differently than in other countries, including the U.S., so some recipes can be confusing. In Canada, beef roasts are labelled for one of 3 uses: pot roast, oven roast, and rotisserie roast, which makes it easy to figure out which one you want. Any pot roast roast will be great in this recipe. I recommend a blade or cross rib roast in Canada, or a chuck roast in the United States.
What if my beef roast is more than 1 pound?
This recipe calls for a (roughly) 1 pound chunk of beef roast. It’s rare that you will get a 1lb roast from the grocery store, but that’s no problem. While you’ll only need 1lb of beef for this recipe, you can cut any roast into 1lb chunks and cook for the same amount of time, then shred and store the extra in the refrigerator or freezer for another meal. It’s a great way to meal prep!
How to make Beef and Noodles in the crockpot:
Here is a quick overview and some extra tips! See the detailed recipe down below.
Start with your beef: Cook low and slow until tender and shreddable — you can do this in the pot or on a cutting board if it’s easier.. Mix together cream and corn starch, and add to the juices to form the sauce in the crockpot. Add the noodles and let cook just until al dente — 15-30 minutes on high depending on the thickness of the pasta. Give it a good stir and serve! Don’t forget the crusty bread for dunking in that glorious sauce.
Variations on this Crockpot Beef and Noodles recipe:
Add in some veggies: traditioanlly, beef and noodles doesn’t have any veggies but you can always add some in! Carrots would do well if added from the beginning, but most vegetables will be overcooked in the time it takes to cook the beef and should be added near the end. Bump up the herbs: since this is part of my 6 ingredient suppers series, I stuck to the basics and I can promise you it is not missing anything. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative or tailor this recipe more to your tastes! Spice it up: if you like everything on the spicy side, you can always add in some hot peppers or chili flakes to get that kick you desire. Swap the noodles for potatoes if you love the creamy sauce but can’t have gluten — be sure to add them at the beginning of the cook time or within the first couple hours for best results.
