This is a regular meal in our house during the cold winter months.  We enjoy it at least once a month.  You can use any cut you enjoy as a pot roast.  This time, I used a blade roast, but I have used chuck roasts and even stewing beef for this recipe.

I first shared this recipe on my blog with step-by-step instructions in December of 2013.  The recipe program I used during that time is now defunct and no longer printable, so I am resharing it with you today using a more current recipe program.

In 2024 I shared a recipe for Lobster Bisque.  Last year, I shared a recipe for White Bean and Basil Salad.  Please join us every other week as we make our way through the alphabet.

Beef and Noodles

Warm and Comforting, Beef and Noodles, is a great way to stretch your grocery dollars and feed your family.

Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 4 HourTotal time: 4 H & 20 M

Ingredients

• 1 (3-4 lb) Beef Chuck Roast or Blade Roast, or 2 lbs. Stewing Beef
• 2 T. cooking oil (I use coconut)
• 1 med. onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 carrots, scraped and chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 c. water
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 2 beef bouillon cubes
• 2 1/2-3 cups uncooked egg noodles

Instructions

1. If using Chuck Roast, trim meat from bones and remove excess fat. Brown meat pieces in hot oil in a Dutch Oven until browned on both sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.
2. Deglaze the pan with 2 cups of water, scraping up any bits of meat stuck to the bottom.
3. Return the meat and any collected juices to the pan. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and bay leaf. Bring just to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and braise for 2-3 hrs. until the meat is fork-tender.
4. Use tongs to break meat into bite-sized pieces. Add a can of diced tomatoes with the juice and another cup of water if needed. Remove the bay leaf.
5. Add bouillon cubes and noodles to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer until noodles have absorbed most of the broth, about 30-45 min.
