Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing your 2-3 pound beef roast right in the slow cooker. Ensure the meat is trimmed of any excess fat for a cleaner flavor.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 14 oz of reduced-sodium beef broth, one envelope of beefy onion soup mix, one can of cream of celery or mushroom soup, and 3-4 minced garlic cloves. Stir until well-blended, then pour over the beef roast.
  3. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 16-17 hours.
  4. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  5. About one hour before serving, add the frozen home-style egg noodles to the slow cooker. Stir gently to ensure the noodles are fully submerged.
  6. Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle portions into bowls and serve warm.
