Chunks of tender beef tossed with thick egg noodles in beef gravy. My Mom’s old fashioned Beef & Noodles is pure comfort food, my friends!
This recipe for Beef & Noodles is one of those recipes that I hold close to my heart. It was one of my MOST favorite meals as a child growing up.
To me, this meal just screams COMFORT! Thick egg noodles, engulfed in a flavorful gravy made from simmering the beef, onions, celery, in the beef stock.
I loved when I asked my mom, “What’s for dinner?” and she answered “Beef & Noodles!” It was always one of my most favorite meals.
After she answered, the worst part was waiting for it to be time to eat!
I first posted this recipe in May of 2014, and once I decided to add the recipe video, I decided it needed a little “facelift” and to be re-shared.
Even more so now that I am completely OBSESSED with making my own egg noodles. Another thing I loved to do when I was growing up.
So, when I re-made this recipe recently I used them, and it was a total game-changer.
I mean … just LOOK!!
Now don’t let the whole homemade noodle thing intimidate you. This meal is perfectly fine with the frozen egg noodles or the dry ones, too.
Ingredients in Beef & Noodles:
- Egg Noodles
- Beef Stew Meat
- celery
- onion
- beef stock
- cornstarch
- salt & pepper
The full printable recipe is at the bottom of this post. Here are a few photos to show you just how simple it is to make.
Add the chunks of beef, onions, and celery into a large pot on the stove.
Add the stock, salt and pepper it, and cover it and let it simmer until the vegetables and meat are tender.
I add a little cornstarch/water mixture to thicken up the gravy. And then toss in the noodles.
Alternatively, you could dredge the beef tips in flour, salt, and pepper, and brown it in a bit of oil.
I just always omit that part – it goes faster this way, and I get to eat it sooner!
Beef & Noodles in the Crockpot
Although I typically make this on the stove, you can do all of the prep with your crockpot if you desire. I have done it both ways.
For the crockpot, you just put the meat, onions and celery and stock in the slow cooker and let it go on low all day. Thicken the gravy when you get home and add in the noodles.
Either way — you have to try it!

I would have to give this a 5 Star rating! So easy & my husband
just had a fit over them. Most any recipe you’d call “easy,” my
hubby would usually NOT like. Thanks for making my life a
little easier!
Happy to simplify a little for you and glad your hubby liked them! That’s what you call a win-win situation! 😉
Do you have to use corn starch?
The cornstarch works as a thickening agent. If you don’t use it, your sauce will just be a little more liquidy. Up to you! 🙂
Super easy & super good! I’ve never had beef & noodles I cared for,
but was pleasantly surprised! Thanks for making our lives easier!
So happy you liked it! Loved this since I was a kid!
I tried this recipe a few weeks ago – my husband & I BOTH loved this!
Bought the lean stew meat, omitted the celery; so easy & a-w-e-s-o-m-e!!!
The only beef & noodles I’d had, in the past, were greasy – so I never
fixed them. Now, these are a regular in this house.
Thanks,
sharyn
That’s makes me so happy! We had it for dinner last night- I always double the celery! Ha! I’m happy that you have made it your own. Hope you enjoy many recipes here to come!
You are absolutely right. This is comfort food at its finest. I have never made noodles, but am thinking of giving it a try.
Looks like the type of comfort food I would love to dig into after a long day at work.
What could be better than homemade noodles?! YUM!!
I’m glad you called these ‘comforting’ beed noodles because they sure are! Just looking at the pictures makes me feel like I’m snuggled up in my bed. I can’t wait to try this!
Yum, this looks like the perfect comfort food!
Comfort food at its best.
Comfort food at its finest! I have many good memories of my mom’s classic recipes. It’s nice to see some of yours 🙂
Such an easy and delicious beef noodles. This is definitely a great comfort food.
My mother used to make this only she used ground beef.
She called it “Hungarian Goulash”…fancy name for beef and noodles.
Through all my years I haven’t ever come across the recipe.
I can’t wait to make it.
TY for sharing.
This is one of my families favorite comfort foods. It’s filling and a hit with everyone including our picky kiddos.
These look so good! Happy I found this recipe, making tomorrow!
Now these are the beef noodles I can’t wait to try! Delicious and absolutely amazing-looking! Yum.
Love this recipe. Awesome that you make your own noodles.
