We love this mushroom broth in the test kitchen. It adds just the right umami punch, without being too mushroom-y. Give it a try in risottos, blended soups, and cooked grains.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 1/4 cups mushroom or vegetable broth
- 12 ounces whole-wheat egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
Instructions
- Trim the excess fat from the chuck roast, then cut the meat into quarters. Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker and toss with the flour, paprika, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the onion, garlic, mushrooms and broth. Cover and cook on low until the beef is fork-tender, 7 to 8 hours.
- Skim off any excess fat from the slow cooker with a ladle. Using two forks, break up the beef into bite-size pieces and keep warm.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain and return to the pot; toss with the butter.
- Divide the noodles among bowls. Add the sour cream to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Divide the beef mixture among the bowls and top with parsley.

Reviews
A dish I imagine one would have in a county jail. The dish has as much flavor as a steel toe boot in the winter.
I would recommend digging deeper, easy isn’t always better. The 1st recipe is almost never the best. No bueno.
So good! I had 2 lbs of beef (but if a leaner cut) so added a little more of everything. Added more extra pepper and extra garlic. Before adding sour cream I added a splash of Worcesteshire sauce and fresh dill. Flavor and consistency were great!

This was great after I made a few modifications. I LOVE a good slow cooker meal. A moms best friend 🙂 I added some Dijon mustard and dill. I also added a heck of a lot more pepper than recommended. My family loved this meal. It’s a total win with a few adjustments! I don’t understand the previous bad review???
It’s easy to make abs very straightforward, but the flavors are all off for me. A teaspoon doesn’t seem like a lot, but the paprika completely overwhelms all the other flavors — you can’t even taste the meat! I don’t think I’ll make this one again.
