Roast Beef with Noodles A One Pot Meal

Ingredients:

One Boneless Beef roast

Mini carrots

4-5 Red potatoes

½ sliced Onion

5 beef bouillon cubes

Vegetable oil

All-purpose flour

1 pound of Egg noodles

This recipe is a family favorite. It has been passed down from my great grandmother to my grandmother, my grandmother to my mother, and finally to me. This recipe is relatively easy and perfect for making a whole meal in one pan and not having a ton of dishes to do later. I loved making this recipe in my college dorm because I didn't have a stove top. This recipe is enough for a family of 4-5, but it’s so delicious that my fiancé and I can finish ourselves. I use a round presto plug in skillet (available at Walmart).

First you are going to remove your roast from the packaging and coat each side lightly with all-purpose flour. Heat your electric skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and pour in just enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Carefully place your roast in the pan and brown each side. When the roast is browned fill up a glass of water and pour enough into the pan to be able to cover the roast. Then add four of the beef bouillon cubes. Cover but crack the lid so it does not boil over. Continue to boil for 4-5 hours until the roast is fully cooked. Note that as the water boils off the roast you will need to continue to replace it so it does not burn (this is not a recipe to make while you will be out of the house). When the meat is fully cooked you may add in your potatoes, carrots, and onions and boil for about 20 minutes depending on how tender you prefer your vegetables. When they are finished remove the meat and vegetables and cover them. Then pour the full bag of noodles into the pan. You may need to add some more water to cover the noodles but don’t add too much or they will be runny. Add in your last beef bouillon cube and boil for about another 20 minutes until the noodles are fully cooked. Voila you have a full meal and you only had to use one pan! I like to serve this meal with some homemade buttermilk honey bread (recipe to come) but it is just as good with some fresh French bread from your local bakery.
