How To Make Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Beef Stroganoff Pasta:

Step 1: Prep the Slow Cooker: Place the 1 lb of beef stew meat into the bottom of your slow cooker.

Step 2: Add the Sauce Base: Pour the 10 1/2 oz can of cream of mushroom soup, the 1 cup of beef broth, and the 1 oz packet of onion soup mix over the meat. Stir well to ensure the meat is fully coated and the soup mix is dissolved.

Step 3: Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on Low for 6–8 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the beef is fork-tender and pulls apart easily.

Step 4: Prepare the Noodles: About 30 minutes before you are ready to eat, cook the 8 oz of egg noodles in a pot of boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and set them aside.

Step 5: Combine: Add the cooked egg noodles directly into the slow cooker. Gently stir them into the beef and gravy mixture. Cover and let everything sit for about 10 minutes so the noodles can soak up the flavors and heat through.

Step 6: Serve: Serve the stroganoff hot. If you want to add a bit of color, you can garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
