Tips to Make Crockpot Beef Tips and Noodles
- For deeper flavor, quickly brown the beef tips in a hot skillet before adding them to the crockpot. It locks in juices and adds a rich, caramelized taste.
- Feel free to add your favorite veggies, such as carrots or peas, into the pot for added nutrition and color.
- Use low-sodium broth and soup to keep it on the healthier side.
- Cook the noodles separately and stir them in just before serving. This keeps them from becoming mushy in the crockpot.
- A sprinkle of parsley, thyme, or rosemary adds a fresh contrast to the rich flavors and makes the dish pop visually.
- f the gravy is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Variation
You can switch out the egg noodles for mashed potatoes if you prefer. This will make a hearty meal that’s equally comforting!
