How to make Crock Pot beef and noodles:
Add your chuck roast to the slow cooker and pour the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt on top. Simple seasonings, but totally perfect in this dish.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or cook on low for 8 hours. Keep in mind that all slow cookers cook differently. Some run hot and some run cool. 4 and 8 hours are the general time frame, but you’ll want to slow cook until the meat is easily shredded with a fork.
About 20 minutes before you are done with your meat, start on the noodles. Boil a large pot of water and cook your pappardelle noodles as directed on the package.
Drain the noodles and return to the pot. Shred the beef, taste and add additional Worcestershire or seasoned salt, and then add the beef to the pot of noodles.
Add butter to the pot and then toss to coat and stir everything together.

I made the beef ahead of time. We ended up having it as sandwiches. It was sooo good!! Froze what was left over. Never even had it with noodles. I did put some chicken broth to make sure it was juicy. Turned out great.
Karly says
Sounds delicious!
Megan says
When You add the noodles back to the pot are you adding it to the crockpot or the pot you boiled the water in?
Karly says
Hi Megan! I add them to the pot the noodles cooked in after I’ve drained the water. Then shred the beef and add the beef and butter to the pot with the noodles. 🙂
Cindy Hunt says
Could a person add the noodles to the crock pot?
Karly says
Hi Cindy! You have to have the right amount of liquid for the pasta to cook and then things get fairly starchy as the pasta cooks. We haven’t tested it this way, so while I’m sure it could be done, you’d need to figure out the correct amount of liquid to leave in the pot (or add to the pot) when you add the noodles.
Karly says
I’m rereading your question and now wondering if you meant to add the cooked noodles to the crockpot? If so, yes that’s totally fine. If you’re wanting to add uncooked pasta to the crockpot, see my first response. 🙂
Marty says
Sounds great! Will this make some juice to have mashed potatoes with? Can wait to try this
Rachel says
