In this video, Betty shares her favorite Stew Beef and Noodles with Onion Gravy recipe. The meat sauce is quick and easy to assemble. It bakes in the oven for 2 to 2.5 hours and is served over a plate of cooked noodles--absolutely delicious! (Note: I am adjusting the amounts to accomodate 2 pounds of stew beef.)
Ingredients:
2 pounds lean stew beef
10 3/4 oz. can condensed cream of mushroom soup
10 3/4 oz. soup can water
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
12 oz. egg noodles (cooked according to package instructions)
1/2 tablespoon butter
In a large Pyrex mixing bowl, combine 2 pounds uncooked stew beef, 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 envelope of onion soup mix, and 1 soup can of water. Stir until blended. Cover the Pyrex mixing bowl with aluminum foil and place it in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees. Cook for about 2 hours, checking occasionally for doneness, and stirring the stew beef mixture. When the gravy is thickened (somewhere from 2 to 2 .5 hours), remove the stew meat mixture from the oven and place it in a serving bowl. In the meantime, prepare the 12 oz. of egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain with a colander and remove the noodles to a serving bowl. Mix 1/2 tablespoon of butter with the noodles. Serve this beef and noodle dish by placing the desired amount of noodles on a serving plate and topping them with the prepared stew beef and onion gravy. Serve while hot!
Menu suggestion: Serve Betty's Hearty Stew Beef and Noodles with Onion Gravy along with Betty's Essential Garden Salad and a loaf of heated French bread (from the deli is fine), with a mixture of light tasting olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping the bread. Bon appetit!
Betty - I doubled the recipe to make today, cooked at 350 degrees for 3 hours the gravy it made was perfectly thick, but the meat looked cooked on the outside but was somewhat pink inside .. is it okay to eat it like that? Thanks :)

@amb8205 Yes, it's fine to eat it like that. I'm surprised that the meat was not browned all the way through, but it is perfectly acceptable to eat beef stew meat when it is pink on the inside.

I have a clear glass casserole dish with a lid, can I cook the beef and gravy ingredients in it? Also, is it okay to cut the stew meat into smaller pieces? If so, does cooking time need to be adjusted? Thank you!

@amb8205 Yes, a clear glass casserole dish will be fine, as long as it is big enough. If it's not, then you can bake it in two portions. Yes, it is okay to cut the meat into smaller pieces. The cooking time does not need to be adjusted. As with any meat with gravy, check on it near the end of baking, and if the gravy is getting thick, then you may take the casserole out of the oven or add a little water and let it cook longer if you want it browner.
