Notes
You can cook the noodles with the beef in the crock pot if you wish, but they usually seem to soggy for me. They turn out well if I add them half way through, though.
You can also add mushrooms or carrots if you like. Add those at the beginning.
You could also choose to cut your meat prior to cooking if that would be easier, but I feel that the tenderness and juices are better retained if the meat is cooked whole.
