Ingredients
  

  • 1 kilo beef, cut into bite size pieces
  • 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup, OR make from a shortcut
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix, OR make from a shortcut
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix, OR make from a shortcut
  • 350-500 grams frozen egg noodles, see Step 5
  • 1 large can mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Oil or butter your slow cooker insert. From the author of this recipe: "Trust me, don't skip this step...you'll hate yourself later if you don't." I think this step is quite important.
  • Add the beef to the slow cooker. In a large bowl, mix together the canned soup, gravy mix, and soup mix with 4 cups of water, pour soup mixture over the beef.
  • Cover and cook for 6-8 hours, looking for very tender beef.
  • About 30 to 90 minutes before serving, turn the slow cooker to High setting, add the mushrooms and egg noodles.
  • For the egg noodles, if you have frozen egg noodles, add them as is, frozen, with the mushrooms. If you only have dried egg noodles, cook those in a pot of boiling water until just before tender, drain, and add those.
  • Stir and squish down the noodles so they are covered with the liquid. Cover and continue to cook on High setting for 30-90 minutes to either cook the frozen noodles or heat through the cooked noodles.
  • Serve.

Notes

The beef will cost about 200 Baht, if you can source this locally in a village market, you may get it cheaper. For 8 servings, this is about 74 cents per serving.
