What You Will ❤️ About Beef & Noodles

  • Family Recipe! This recipe comes right from Big Jerry in Chelsea, Iowa! He’s the late father of a good friend and used to make this recipe all the time.
  • Easy! Whether you’re using pre-shredded beef or making your own – this is a simple dish to put together.
  • Family-Friendly! This dish is one the whole family will love – pasta and tender pot roast tastes great together!

Stove top Beef & Noodles Recipe Ingredients

You’ve got options for the shredded beef – I recommend making your own – it’s worth the prep time and you get two meals!

  • Shredded Beef – If you have leftover shredded beef from the crock pot, smoker or Dutch Oven (see next bullet!) – they’ll all work in this recipe! You can also purchase shredded beef at the grocery store. You’ll need approx 3 cups of beef.
    • If you want to make your own shredded beef – I have two delicious recipes that will make the most tender, fall-apart beef you’ve ever had!!! Dutch Oven Italian Beef or Dutch Oven Mississippi Pot Roast. (I made mine on Wednesday and then the Beef & Noodles on Friday!)
    • To make your own, you’ll need 2-3 lb rump or chuck roast, Italian Dressing mix or Onion Soup mix, pepperoncini peppers & juice, beer, butter & water (both recipes vary slightly)
  • Vegetables: Onions & Celery – this adds a little bite and even more flavor to your beef & noodles
  • V8 Juice – You could also use tomato juice or a combo of tomato juice & beef broth
  • Egg Noodles – I like the No Yolks dumpling noodles – they’re the widest ones.

Recipe Variations

  • Flexibility – The best part of this recipe is you can make more or less depending on what you have! If you only have 1-2 cups of shredded beef leftover – just add a few less noodles and tomato juice. Or keep it the same and add veggies so it’s heartier!
  • Pork Roast – you could easily swap out the beef roast with a pork roast
  • Other Cuts of Beef – a lot of folks will take a short cut and use beef stew meat or diced sirloin steak instead of slow-cooked shredded pot roast
  • More Veggies – you could definitely add more vegetables such as mushrooms and carrots – which I would add with the celery & onion – or peas, spinach and kale – which you could add at the end when you add in the noodles.
  • Fresh Herbs – fresh herbs for garnish or added in with the celery and onion add a punch of flavor. You could use fresh parsley, thyme or minced cloves of garlic!

How to make Shredded Beef

I love making these shredded beef recipes! The meat is great with mashed potatoes or on a sub bun with provolone melted on top. And any leftovers go in your beef & noodles the next day! Here’s how I made the shredded beef:

  1. Preheat oven to 400º. Heat Dutch Oven on stovetop on high heat and add 2-3 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Coat roast with salt & pepper and sear in dutch oven on all sides. Turn off heat.
  3. Add in 1 package Italian dressing mix, 1 cup pepperoncinis & juice, 1 stick butter, 1 bottle or can of beer and 1 cup water
    • You can use Italian dressing mix, ranch dressing mix or even onion soup mix
  4. Cover Dutch Oven and put in oven for 1 hour. Lower heat to 300º and roast for 3 more hours.
    • At 2-2.5 hours – check beef and see if more liquid is needed. If it’s starting to get dry, add 1/2-1 cup extra water and partially shred beef so it’s all in the liquid.
  5. Remove from oven and shred.

Tips, Tricks & FAQs

How do you thicken beef and noodles?

Mix together a slurry of 1 tbsp corn starch (or flour) and 1/4 cup water. Then add to the beef mixture before you add the noodles. This recipe comes out pretty thick so I don’t think you’ll need it.

How do you store and reheat leftover shredded beef?

Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass storage ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. 

How do you store and reheat leftover beef & noodles?

Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can put in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a sauce pan for 5 minutes over medium heat. You might want to add a touch of water when reheating.
