- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix

Instructions
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly spray a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

3. Make the Creamy Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together:

Mix until smooth.
4. Pour Over the Beef
Pour the mixture evenly over the beef, ensuring most of the meat is covered.
5. Add the Egg Noodles
Spread the dry egg noodles evenly over the top.
Gently press them into the liquid without stirring to help them absorb the flavorful broth while cooking.
6. Slow Cook
Cook:
- LOW: 5–6 hours

Keep the lid closed during cooking for the best texture.
7. Finish with Sour Cream
About 30 minutes before serving:

- If needed, add a splash of warm beef broth to loosen the sauce.
Cook another 15–20 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot.
