  • Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Beef and Seasoning

  • 1 ½ pounds stew beef
  • 1 ounce packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 ounce packet brown gravy mix (or au jus)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 4 cups low sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers (can use 4 whole pepperoncini)
  • 2 Tablespoons pepperoncini juice from the jar (optional)

Noodles and Cream

  • 16 ounce package egg noodles (preferably Amish style)
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Place 1 ½ pounds of stew beef into a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix, brown gravy mix, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the beef.
  2. Add Liquids and Peppers: Pour in 4 cups of low sodium beef broth, then add ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers and 2 tablespoons of pepperoncini juice (optional) to the slow cooker.
  3. Slow Cook the Beef: Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours until the beef becomes tender. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to retain heat and tenderness.
  4. Add Egg Noodles: Once the beef is tender, gently stir in 16 ounces of egg noodles without breaking them. Cover again.
  5. Cook the Noodles: Continue cooking for another 30 minutes to 1 hour on low, or until the noodles are fully cooked through. Timing may vary depending on your slow cooker, so check for softness.
  6. Finish with Cream: Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream just before serving to add richness and creamy texture.
  7. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy your comforting slow-cooked Mississippi Beef and Noodles dish.

Notes

  • Do not open the slow cooker lid during the initial beef cooking to ensure tenderness.
  • The pepperoncini juice is optional but adds extra tang and flavor.
  • Egg noodle cooking times may vary by slow cooker; check noodles for tenderness before serving.
  • Use low sodium beef broth to better control saltiness.
  • Amish-style egg noodles are preferred for best texture but any egg noodles will work.
