This easy beef and noodles recipe makes a tasty main dish that makes an easy 5 dollar meal and that your family will love!
This recipe is so easy & always turns out perfect. I do not always have an onion, so I add a few more seasonings like onion & garlic powder. Then about 4 hours before it’s ready, I remove the foil & add some potatoes that I’ve chopped up & lightly seasoned. I add a little extra water if it’s needed to cover the potatoes. (I make sure I crimp the foil back down tightly before I return the roast & potatoes to the oven.) When I cook a roast this way, I honestly feel like I have taken off a day from cooking. An added bonus is that the cleanup is easy. I’ll have to try your gravy recipe the next time I cook a roast this way. It looks delicious, and easy. I was glad to see this recipe in your Dining on a Dime Gluten Free Cookbook.
Everything looks Delicious and easy to make
This is good but try it using Campbell’s beefy mushroom makes it out of this world!!
Thank you so much for the great recipes and information! They all sound so good!! I wish I could use all of your leftover recipes as you’ve described/directed. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with the ingredient, “leftover roast” that you’re describing, that’s not something that I’ve experienced personally. I think one time we may have had 4 bites of meat left in the pan after we finished dinner, I’m pretty sure that’s not specifically what you’re referring to though… 🥲
However, YES!!! I agree, this is absolutely the way to go, it makes the most incredible Gravy & it’s sooo, sooo easy!! Even a newbie “cooker” 😆 can make gravy with a little Wondra and the juice, drippings, whatever you want to call it, when using this Soup Mix! If you haven’t ever tried Wondra it’s so far superior to flour, it’s a lifesaver to those who struggle with making gravy, or ANYONE who just wants to make life a little easier and guarantee they won’t have lumps, it’s truly AMAZING!!
I didn’t know about it until I met my hubby (his Mom has always used it), now I can’t live without it! Lol It’s basically the perfect combination between flour and corn starch, you’re “almost” guaranteed NO LUMPS when using Wondra. It can taste somewhat pasty if you use too much or don’t cook it long enough with “your fat”, butter, oil, fat skimmed from the roast juices, etc., exactly like what happens when using flour, I find that it happens less with Wondra though.
Anyway, Di and I may not be talking about exactly the same thing, I’m referring to the Lipton dry packets, the ones I use most are “Beefy Onion”, although there are others that are great as well, so I think we’re on the same wavelength…
If not, I’m referring to the dry soup packets, like the Onion Soup mix that’s used in dips, etc.
Anyway, I’m sure I have far overstayed my welcome so I will close for now and wish everyone the best, HAPPY COOKING!! 🍽
Progresso makes a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup. The can is larger than the standard soup can, so I measure out 10.5 ounces to substitute in recipes that call for a can of cream of mushroom soup. It’s delicious and works great!
