EASY OVEN BEEF AND NOODLES-MOM'S (1970)
This is an easy way to make old fashioned beef and noodles... a Indiana staple. Mom made this back in the early 1960's. The oven version was great. She could prepare the meat/soup mixture in a casserole dish ahead of time (like on Saturday evening) and pop in the oven before church on Sunday morning. Then it was ready after...

Steps:
- 1. Brown stew meat and season with pepper. You probably do not need salt as the canned soup is salty. Drain any oil off the meat and pour meat into a casserole dish or baking pan. Mix milk, water and condensed soup. Pour over beef, stir, and cook, uncovered, for 3 hours at 325 degrees. Serve over cooked, hot, wide country style noodles (or your favorite pasta).
- 2. NOTE, OPTIONAL: You may add a drained can of mushrooms or a sliced large onion when you stir the soup into the meat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each of seasoned salt and black pepper. Add the cubes of beef to the bowl and stir until well coated.
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the meat in a single layer and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir the beef and let brown on another side, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and transfer the beef to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, mushrooms, garlic and remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of seasoned salt and black pepper. Cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, seared beef, and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer, cover, then reduce heat to low. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, with the stock just barely simmering.
- Remove the lid and discard the thyme sprigs. Add the egg noodles and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender. Serve immediately, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of parsley.
Tips:
- Use a Dutch oven or large casserole dish to cook the beef and noodles. This will ensure that the dish is cooked evenly and that the noodles don't stick together.
- Brown the beef in batches before adding it to the Dutch oven. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the beef from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the dish. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
- Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to them.
- Serve the dish with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
This easy oven beef and noodles recipe is a hearty and comforting meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The beef is tender and flavorful, the noodles are cooked to perfection, and the vegetables add a delicious crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
