Ingredients

- 8 ounces dry tagliatelle noodles
- 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 3 cups beef broth
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a large roasting pan, casserole dish, or Dutch oven.
Step 2
Spread the dry tagliatelle noodles evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Separate any nests so the noodles cook evenly.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the noodles, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Arrange the cubed chuck roast evenly over the noodles. Gently press the beef into the liquid without completely covering it.
Step 6
Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours.
Step 7
Remove the cover and gently stir from the bottom to separate the noodles. If needed, add a little extra beef broth.
Step 8
Cover again and continue baking for 30–45 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender and the noodles are fully cooked.
Step 9
Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving to let the sauce thicken naturally.
Recipe Tips
- Use well-marbled chuck roast for the most tender results.
