A very memorable comfort food served interchangeably with Chicken and Noodles--both with homemade mashed potatoes (no lumps!). While Mother made her noodles from scratch, after one miserable attempt, I chose to go the store-bought route. They do have some marvelous noodles out there.

Ingredients For old-fashioned beef & noodles

  • 2 lb
    stew beef, trimmed of fat
  • 2 md
    cans beef broth
  • 1 pkg
    (16 oz.) kluski egg noodles
  • 2 tsp
    salt
  • 1/2 tsp
    pepper
  • water

How To Make old-fashioned beef & noodles

  • 1
    Place beef in a Dutch oven in enough water to cover beef. Add the beef broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer, covered, 1 hour.
  • 2
    Skim off any fat, bring to second boil. Add more water if need be, up to 2 qts. total. When water begins to boil, add the noodles and the seasonings.
  • 3
    You can use 1 large can of beef broth and less--or no--water, for a beefier flavor.
  • 4
    Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 30 minutes. If broth is too thin, uncover and turn heat to medium for another ten minutes or until it reaches desired thickness.
  • 5
    Serve beside, or over, mashed potatoes.
