Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  2. 1 small onion, diced
  3. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  5. 1 cup beef broth
  6. 1 cup heavy cream
  7. 1 tsp dried basil
  8. 1 tsp dried oregano
  9. Salt and pepper, to taste
  10. 8 oz pasta (penne or your favorite shape)
  11. 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  12. Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the beef stew meat, diced onion, and minced garlic in the slow cooker.
  2. Mix Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, heavy cream, dried basil, and dried oregano. Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  4. Cook Pasta: About 30 minutes before serving, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  5. Add Pasta and Cheese: Stir the cooked pasta into the slow cooker. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Finish: Let the mixture cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use other types of pasta if you prefer, but penne works well for this dish.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the cream gives it the best texture.
  • This recipe can also be made with chicken stew meat or ground beef for a variation.
  • If you’d like a thicker sauce, let the slow cooker cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
