While the sauce is thickening, cook the egg noodles in a separate pot based on the package instructions.

Make sure you have a good skillet to make this delicious recipe.

We use a cast iron skillet and it's perfect for this recipe. Cooking with a cast iron is amazing! You can make so many different recipes and they are great for skillet recipes.

If you are not already cooking with one, you should. They are amazing and the food cooks so evenly. Don't be hesitant to use cast iron because it really is simple to use and maintain. It cooks the food so evenly and recipes turn out great.

How to cook Instant Pot Beef and Noodles:

You can easily cook this meal in your instant pot. Just like in your skillet, you can sear your meat in the instant pot. Here are some easy steps:

Heat olive oil in the instant pot, then add in meat and sear.
Then you would add in the other ingredients except for the noodles. Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
While you beef and gravy are cooking, boil your egg noodles. Once done boil, then drain and set aside.
Serve and enjoy

How to make Crock Pot Beef and Noodles:

This meal is great cooked in the crock pot. I put the cut up roast and all the ingredients except for the noodles in the crock pot and cook. We cook on low for about 6-8 hours.

I still cook my noodles separately and top with the beef and gravy. Perfect meal to come home to. Your house will smell amazing.

Tips for easy Beef Tips and Noodles:

To save time, we also like to keep diced onion and bell pepper in the freezer so it is easy to add to any recipe we like.
Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions.
You can also use ground beef instead of roast for the meat.
Worcestershire Sauce can be added in. It is great combined with the other ingredients.

Can I freeze Beef and Noodles?

This is the perfect recipe to freeze. We like doubling the recipe so that I can have it for an easy meal. You will only want to freeze the beef and gravy mixture and not the noodles.

Put the beef and gravy in a freeze safe container. When you are ready to reheat, remove from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator. Reheat meal on the stovetop or microwave.

Save money and make this frugal and easy beef tips and noodles recipe.

You can really stretch your meat budget with the pasta. It is such a frugal meal! Use shredded beef, chuck roast or roast beef for other tasty ideas.

Feel free to try other types of pasta. We have tried penne and bowtie and the dish was amazing. Try homemade noodles. Shop your pantry and just use what you have!

I like to use what I can purchase on sale at the grocery store or already have in the freezer. Just use what you have. The great thing about this recipe is how versatile it is.

How to store:

We love having leftovers for this meal. It is perfect to put in individual containers for a lunch for my husband and I. This is probably one of my husbands favorite meal to have leftovers.

Just reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute increments, stirring after each minute.
