  • Total Time: 7 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds stew beef
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
  • 2 tablespoons pepperoncini juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 16 ounces egg noodles

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add the stew beef to the slow cooker - Place the stew beef directly into the bottom of your slow cooker and spread it out evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
  2. Step 2: Season the beef - Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, brown gravy mix, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the beef, making sure the seasonings are well distributed for full flavor.
  3. Step 3: Add the liquid and peppers - Pour in the beef broth, add the sliced pepperoncini peppers and pepperoncini juice, then gently stir to combine all ingredients and release their aromas.
  4. Step 4: Slow cook until tender - Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the beef becomes fork tender and almost falls apart with gentle stirring.
  5. Step 5: Add the noodles - Stir in the uncooked egg noodles, making sure they are mostly submerged in the liquid, then cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour until noodles are tender, stirring once or twice if possible.
  6. Step 6: Finish with cream - After the noodles are cooked, stir in the heavy cream to create a rich, creamy sauce. Let the dish sit for a few minutes to thicken before serving.
  7. Step 7: Serve and enjoy - Scoop the Mississippi Beef and Noodles into bowls and serve warm, enjoying the cozy and satisfying flavors.

Notes

  • Check the beef for tenderness at the 4-hour mark to avoid overcooking.
  • Stir the noodles occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking.
  • You can adjust pepperoncini quantity to taste for more or less tanginess.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a dairy-free cream alternative.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
