This is a sponsored post and I was compensated. However, all opinions are mine. Oh boy is it getting chilly outside! The kids and I call it “Chilly Boogers!” I am not sure where that came from, but we have said that as long as I can remember. This is my favorite time of the year. Out come the jeans, scarves and boots! See you later flip flops and tank tops! Thank goodness I still have time before I begin to panic over my holiday shopping list!
When the days are cold, time is short and my family is hungry, I reach for the crock pot. It is my favorite small appliance during the winter months. And I have just discovered the best cookbook that is full of delicious recipes from soups, to sides to even desserts! “Stock the Crock” by Phyllis Good is my newest favorite sidekick in the kitchen.

What I loved about “Stock the Crock” is how approachable Phyllis’ recipes are. I know that sounds strange perhaps, but you know how some cookbooks are so fussy and pretentious? Not with this cookbook! The instructions are clear and straight forward, and the photos are simply gorgeous.

What you will need for your Crock Pot Beef Noodle Soup Recipe:
2 lbs bone in beef short ribs (or you can use stew meat, tenderloin or chuck roast , cut into chunks)
2 quarts beef broth
1 large onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 can diced tomatoes or tomato sauce
4 large carrots, peeled and diced
2 large celery stalks, chopped
2-3 fresh bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 -3 cups wide egg noodles
Cut your celery, carrots and onions.
Brown your meat in olive oil.
Add your celery, onions, carrots and garlic to the crock pot if you did not add them in with your browned meat.
Add your tomatoes or tomato sauce to crock pot. Phyllis calls for the tomatoes, but my husband doesn’t like them, so I used the tomato sauce instead. I am confidant you will get the lovely tomato flavor with either one!
Add noodles to crock pot. Now in Phyllis’ book, she has you add them in at the end. I add them in the beginning. My husband prefers his noodles nice and soft. So, whatever works for you! Cook on low for 9-11 hours. Now, I didn’t have that much time, so I cooked this on high for 5 hours and low for 2. It turned out perfectly. Again, do what you feel best.
Top with fresh herbs, green onions or onion tops and serve with warm crusty bread. Yum! Is your mouth watering yet? One USA reader will win one copy of Stock the Crock by Phyllis Good, ARV $22.
