Ingredients

1½ pounds raw ground beef (80–85% lean)

1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup

2 cups beef broth (or water with bouillon)

8 ounces uncooked wide egg noodles

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Prep Time, Cook Time & Yield

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 2½ hours on HIGH or 4 hours on LOW

Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes

Yield: 6–8 servings

Directions

Lightly spray the inside of a 5–6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray or rub it with a little oil for easy cleanup.

Crumble the raw ground beef evenly into the bottom of the slow cooker, breaking it into small chunks.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth.

Pour the mixture evenly over the ground beef, making sure most of the meat is covered. Do not stir yet.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2–2½ hours or LOW for about 4 hours, until the beef is fully cooked and bubbling.

Stir the mixture well to break up large pieces of beef and combine the sauce.

Gently add the uncooked egg noodles, pressing them down so they are mostly covered by the sauce.

Cover again and cook on HIGH for another 20–30 minutes, until the noodles are tender but not mushy.

Turn the slow cooker to LOW or KEEP WARM, then stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover again, and allow it to melt for 5–10 minutes.

Serve hot directly from the slow cooker and enjoy!

Notes & Tips

Add frozen mixed vegetables for extra nutrition and color.
