Quick Beef and Noodles

Sharing is caring!

Since beef roast is made so often at our house, I have perfected the nearly 30-minute quick beef and noodles recipe when I am in need of a quick meal.

If your roast isn’t already broken into pieces, do so before starting to make beef and noodles. Break it up it will break into fine pieces as it cooks. If you are using leftover roast, warm up the beef before adding the liquid. For this specific night, I had about two pounds of leftover roast.

Beef roast leftovers for beef and noodlesOnce the beef is heated warmed up, add one quart off beef broth and four cups of water. Bring the water to a boil and then add one can of cream of mushroom soup.

Beef broth baseSeason the beef mixture with salt and pepper to taste depending on how seasoned the roast is you are using. Mix the soup completely into the broth and beef. Simmer for ten minutes before adding noodles. I use the frozen Reames homestyle noodles. I usually cook these noodles for 20-30 minutes. If you are using a different type of noodles, cook these noodles for the directed amount of time. I use about 12 ounces of noodles per pound of meat.

They are just so easy and the kids don’t seem to care. So, while the beef and noodles, I pop my instant mashers in the microwave for my three-minute potatoes. Then it is Ta-Da!

  1. Instead of instant mashed potatoes, try the Bob Evans ready to eat. They are a little more expensive, but they are very good. Watch for specials or coupons. Thanks for the recipe! I’m going to try it the next time I have leftover roast beef.

  2. I bookmarked this recipe about four months ago and now it’s my go-to every time I have left over roast! I follow it exactly the way you posted it and it turns out amazing every time! Thanks so much for sharing!

    This was great! I used 1 can of beef and 1 bag egg noodles, and used 6 cups of broth and 1 can of cream of chicken (family doesnt like mushrooms). It was perfect! Thank you!
