Crockpot Beef Tips and Noodles Recipe 🍲

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Beef:
   • Season beef tips with salt, pepper, and paprika.
   • (Optional but recommended) Sear beef in a hot skillet with a bit of oil until browned — this step adds extra flavor.
2. Combine in Crockpot:
   • Add beef tips, onions, and garlic to the slow cooker.
   • In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, gravy mix, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme.
   • Pour over beef.
3. Slow Cook:
   • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours) until beef is tender.
4. Cook the Noodles:
   • About 20 minutes before serving, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain.
5. Make the Gravy:
   • If the sauce is too thin, mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with 3 tbsp cold water, stir into crockpot, and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes until thickened.
6. Serve:
   • Spoon beef and gravy over noodles.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley.

🍽️ Tips & Variations:

Would you like me to give you a from-scratch version (no canned soup, using homemade gravy) for an even richer, more natural flavor?
