Slow Cooker Amish Ground Beef Gravy Noodles
Slow Cooker Amish Ground Beef Gravy Noodles are an easy, comforting dinner made with tender ground beef, savory gravy, and wide egg noodles cooked right in the crockpot. This no-browning recipe delivers minimal cleanup and hearty flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 packet brown gravy mix 0.87-ounce packet
- 1 packet brown gravy mix 0.87-ounce packet
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles uncooked
- salt a pinch at the end, if needed
- black pepper a pinch at the end, if needed
- 3 tablespoons brown gravy mix approximate total amount from the two packets
Instructions
- Place the raw ground beef in the bottom of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker and break it into large chunks without browning it first.
- Sprinkle both packets of brown gravy mix evenly over the ground beef.
- Pour the low-sodium beef broth evenly over the beef and gravy mix without stirring.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, checking toward the early end, until the beef is fully cooked and easy to break apart.
- Break the cooked beef into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula and stir until the broth, gravy mix, and beef form a smooth gravy; skim off excess fat if needed.
- Add the uncooked wide egg noodles to the slow cooker, press them mostly into the hot gravy, and stir them as evenly as possible.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the noodles are tender but not mushy and the gravy has thickened.
- Taste the beef gravy noodles and add salt and black pepper only if needed, then serve hot from the slow cooker.
Notes
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. The noodles absorb more gravy as they sit, so add a splash of beef broth or water before reheating and stir halfway through. Reheat individual portions in the microwave in short bursts or warm larger portions gently in a saucepan with extra broth. Freezing is possible, but the noodles will be softer after thawing.
