Beef Tips and Noodles in the Crock Pot

I have had beef tips and noodles on menus for a few years. I just realized that I have never shared the recipe.

A plate with beef stroganoff made from tender beef tips, topped with shredded cheese and served with cooked green beans. The plate rests on a dark wooden table with a white decorative cloth and green leafy decor in the background.

At one time, I shared a major blooper when I attempted to fix Jay’s dad beef tips and noodles for his birthday. I was only 18 and had NO kitchen experience. It was a disaster!

If you want to read about that experience or see that full-blown recipe, you can see it here.

Jay and I both love beef tips and noodles, so Jay came up with an easy version that we could throw together in the crock pot.

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of the crock pot lightly with nonstick cooking spray, olive oil, or use a liner for easy cleanup.
  2. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces if they didn’t come that way.
  3. Combine beef tips, beef gravy, mushrooms, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Slow Cook: The cooking time is your option: Low: 7–8 hours or High: 4–5 hours. The beef should be tender and the sauce rich and flavorful.
  5. Cook the egg noodles in a large Dutch oven, according to package directions just before serving and drain well. I like to cook them al dente so the leftovers don’t turn out to have mushy noodles.
  6. Add the noodles to the beef mixture, season with salt and more black pepper. Stir well, serve,  and enjoy!

Helpful Tips and Variations

  • Add sliced onions at the start for extra flavor.
  • Sprinkle a packet of Dry Onion Soup Mix to the meat before cooking in the slow cooker.
  • I have found that a roast makes very tender beef tips.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes or rice instead of noodles for a hearty twist.
  • Top with Parmesan cheese.
  • Make your own homemade beef gravy using:
    • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
    • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
    • 2 cups beef broth
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I cook the noodles in the crock pot?
    • It is best not to cook the egg noodles in the crock pot. You will run the risk of the noodles turning out mushy.
  • Can I freeze the leftovers?
    • Absolutely! However, you will need to keep the noodles completely separated from the beef and gravy mixture. Just make fresh noodles when reheating the frozen beef and gravy.
  • How can I thicken the gravy?
    • You can do one of two things to thicken the gravy:
      • Use 1 1/2 jars of the Heinz Beef Gravy instead of 2 jars.
      • Stir in a cornstarch slurry (1T. cornstarch + 1 T. water) into the beef and gravy mixture during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

  1. My Dad loves meals like these but very rarely gets them because we make him eat a lot of salads so I can’t wait to surprise him the next time my Mom is out of town. He’ll be so excited! Hugs, CoCo
