FAQs
How can I thicken the gravy if needed?
If the gravy is thinner than you’d like, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Stir it into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Can I use fresh mushrooms instead of canned?
Yes, fresh mushrooms work great. Sauté them lightly before adding them to the crockpot for enhanced flavor.
What type of noodles work best for this recipe?
I prefer egg noodles, but you can also use fettuccine, rotini, or even spaghetti.
Can I cook this on high instead of low?
Yes, but the beef won’t be as tender. Cook on high for about 4-5 hours instead of 8 hours on low.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Not as written. To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soup, gravy mix, and noodles.
