Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Seasoning

  • 3 to 4 lbs chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 0.87 oz)
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced (adjust to taste)

Noodles

  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • Water and salt for boiling noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast and season generously with salt and pepper. This step builds flavor from the start.
  2. Layer Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the seasoned beef at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the butter, ranch seasoning mix, and au jus gravy mix directly on top of the beef. Scatter the sliced pickled jalapeños over the ingredients.
  3. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 7 to 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  4. Prepare the Noodles: About 15 minutes before the beef is done, cook the wide egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  5. Shred Beef and Combine: Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it using forks. Return the shredded beef to the sauce in the slow cooker. Gently stir in the cooked noodles until combined into a saucy, hearty dish.

Notes

  • Use well-marbled chuck roast for tender and juicy beef.
  • Seasoning the beef with salt and pepper before cooking enhances flavor depth.
  • Cook on low heat for best tenderness and to prevent drying out.
  • Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
  • Undercook noodles slightly if mixing in crockpot as they will finish cooking with the sauce.
