Ingredients

Chef's Tips
- Searing the meat in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker adds depth of flavor from the browning. While it's an extra step, it can be worth it!
- Cook on the LOW setting to keep the beef melt-in-your-mouth tender and to avoid overcooking.
- Use chuck roast or stewing beef. These cuts become tender when cooked low and slow. Avoid leaner cuts of beef (which can dry out).
Step-By-Step Instructions
- Put all ingredients except for the sour cream and egg noodles into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine. Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions and set aside for later.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until beef is fork-tender. Stir in sour cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Serve hot, spooned over the egg noodles and sprinkled with fresh parsley.
