  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream optional, for creaminess

Equipment

  • - Crockpot (slow cooker)
  • - Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. **Prepare the Beef:**
  2. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the beef on all sides until browned.
  3. **Add to Crockpot:**
  4. Place the seared beef in the crockpot.
  5. **Make the Broth:**
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Pour the mixture over the beef in the crockpot.
  7. **Cook:**
  8. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
  9. **Shred the Beef:**
  10. Remove the beef from the crockpot, shred it using two forks, and return it to the crockpot.
  11. **Cook the Noodles:**
  12. Add the egg noodles to the crockpot, stirring to submerge them in the broth. Cover and cook on high for 20-30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  13. **Add Cream (Optional):**
  14. Stir in the heavy cream for a richer, creamier sauce, if desired.
  15. **Serve:**
  16. Ladle the beef and noodles into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
