Ingredients:
1½ pounds raw ground beef (80–85% lean)
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups beef broth (or water + bouillon)
8 ounces uncooked wide egg noodles
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Lightly grease a 5–6 quart slow cooker. Spread the raw ground beef evenly across the bottom, breaking it into small pieces.
Whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth. Pour evenly over the beef.
Do not stir layering helps everything cook evenly.
Cover and cook:
HIGH: 2 to 2½ hours
LOW: 4 hours
The mixture should be hot and bubbly, and the beef fully cooked.
Stir the beef mixture well. Season if needed.
Add uncooked egg noodles, pressing them gently into the sauce.
Cook on HIGH for 20–30 minutes until noodles are tender. Stir once or twice to prevent sticking.
Reduce heat to LOW. Stir in sour cream until smooth.
Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, cover, and let melt (5–10 minutes).
Serve hot and creamy straight from the crockpot.
