How to Make Crockpot Mississippi Beef with Noodles:
Searing for Flavor
Start by searing the chuck roast in a hot skillet with oil to enhance its flavor. While this step is optional if you’re short on time, it adds a delicious depth to the dish.
Adding Flavorful Seasoning
Transfer the seared chuck roast to your crockpot and sprinkle it with ranch seasoning and au jus seasoning. Top the beef with pepperoncini peppers, pour in the beef broth, and add some pepperoncini juice for an extra kick of flavor.
Slow Cooking Magic
Cover the crockpot and let it work its magic. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 5 hours, until the beef easily shreds apart with a fork.
Cooking the Noodles
Once the beef is tender and shredded, stir it back into the flavorful broth. Add the dried egg noodles and give it a good stir. Top it all off with some pats of butter for extra richness. Cover the crockpot and continue cooking on high for 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Serve and Enjoy!
Serve the Crockpot Mississippi Beef and Noodles while it’s hot, and garnish it with fresh minced parsley. Get ready to fall in love with this delicious comfort food.
Karly’s Tips:
- Use ranch seasoning instead of ranch dip mix for a less salty finished product. If you’re sensitive to salt, opt for unsalted butter.
- We recommend using dry Amish egg noodles, which are available at your local grocery store for a better price. They cook perfectly right in the crockpot, though cooking times may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker. Check the pasta for doneness at the 20-minute mark and keep an eye on it.
- Have picky eaters? Leave the pepperoncini peppers whole and remove them when shredding the beef. You’ll still get all the delicious flavor without the green bits.
