Beef Stew Noodle Casserole

Beef stew noodle casserole is your whole dinner in one dish, loaded with meat, veggies, and noodles in a savory sauce. This cozy dinner is a cross between beef stew and a casserole and perfect for satisfying any big appetite.

I am no stranger to comfort food.

My mama raised me on it, and I am raising my boys on it.

Just like Mom’s wide-open arms on a bad day, and my listening ear- a good dish from my comfy kitchen is always a guarantee for them.

There’s a few key ingredients for a quality, cozy meal in my opinion: a large portion of a family favorite protein, a seriously starchy carb element, and sauciness.

This beef noodle stew casserole has all those notes!

It’s got a meat and potatoes feel, but made in a stew pot with the savory bits from a hearty beef and veggie stew.

Nothing soup about it.

It’s firmly in the ‘stew’ category, even when baked in a casserole dish.

And it will be on your table many a night thanks to its easy prep and satisfying taste!

A busy parent’s dream come true!

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

• Beef stew meat– Chopped into smaller pieces if needed
• Flour– All purposed
• Veggies– Thinly sliced celery and carrots, diced potatoes, and half a diced white onion
• Noodles– Uncooked egg noodles
• Beef stew seasoning mix– The kind in a packet
• Olive oil
• Beef broth– You could use stock if you want a richer version
• French fried onions– The kind you put on the green bean casserole at Thanksgiving

How to Make

Beef stew noodle casserole is pretty easy to make,

Start by shaking the meat and flour together in a large ziplocking bag until the meat is coated.

Then heat the olive oil in a large pot set over medium heat.

When the oil is hot and shimmery, sear the meat, stirring a few times, so that it’s browned on all sides but not completely cooked through.

Stir the broth into the pot, working the spatula against the bottom to deglaze the pot.

Stir in the veggies, and bring the whole pot to a rolling boil.

Whisk in the stew seasoning packet until completely incorporated.

Let the stew keep boiling for 5 full minutes, until it’s cooked down a bit.

While the stew’s boiling, cook the egg noodles until al dente.

Drain the cooked noodles and stir them into the stew.

Pour the stew/noodle mixture into a 9×13 baking dish you’ve sprayed with nonstick spray.

Cover it tightly with foil.

Bake the casserole at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

Remove the foil, sprinkle the crispy fried onions evenly out overtop the casserole, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat the leftovers in a hot oven until warmed through or heat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

• While you can leave the stew meat in the pieces it came in, I always advise cutting it into smaller bites. The meat will get a better sear and have more flavor.
• Want to sneak in more veggies? Add a cup of frozen peas into the stew.
• Make sure the potatoes are diced finely. You don’t want to bite into the casserole and get a half cooked piece of potato.
