Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasonings
- 3 lbs beef roast
- 1 packet Ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1/4 cup butter (half a stick)
- 6 pepperoncini peppers
- 4 cups beef broth
Noodles
- 24 oz frozen egg noodles
Instructions
- Prepare the Roast: Place the beef roast in a 6-quart slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and brown gravy mix over the roast, then top with the butter to add richness.
- Add Flavorings: Arrange the pepperoncini peppers around the beef. Pour the beef broth around the roast, ensuring the flavors infuse the meat during cooking.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Shred the Beef: Carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine well with the juices and seasoning.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the frozen egg noodles directly into the slow cooker with the beef mixture. Cook on high for 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are fully tender.
- Serve: Stir the noodles and shredded beef together, ensuring an even mixture. Serve hot, straight from the slow cooker for a comforting meal.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of slow cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Pepperoncini peppers add a tangy heat, but you can reduce the number or remove the seeds for milder flavor.
- Frozen noodles can be substituted with fresh egg noodles or pasta, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- Using a 6-quart slow cooker is recommended for even cooking and enough space to add noodles.
