This easy beef and noodles recipe is a quick and easy family dinner recipe you can make in just a few minutes with leftover pot roast or other leftover cooked beef. Families and kids love this recipe and it’s so super simple to make!
I like to plan ahead and start by making our easy slow-cooked pot roast recipe and then use the leftover roast to make 3 or 4 more meals like this easy beef and noodles recipe! This is an easy way to plan a bunch of meals for a week where you can easily reduce the amount of work you have to do to prepare meals for the family.
If I don’t feel like eating beef for a lot of meals, I will often make the roast and freeze the leftovers in smaller portions in ziploc bags so I have it on hand to quickly dump into a fast and easy recipe like this beef and noodles.
If you don’t have leftover pot roast, you can use other kinds of leftover cooked beef, too. If you have any beef you need to use like round steak or stew meat, you can cook it, chop it into small pieces and use it for this recipe. You can even use leftover cooked ground beef.
I usually make this recipe with just the beef and noodles because it is easiest and even picky eaters will love it, but to make it a little more fancy, you can add 1 can or package of sliced mushrooms with the meat and garnish with parsley. This is perfect for adults and less picky kids.

Try this quick and easy potato pancake recipe. It’s a delicious way to use all those leftover potatoes! Our kids love them and the older ones often make this recipe themselves for a quick snack!
This easy potato pancake recipe makes a tasty side dish that works well in place of potatoes, rice or bread with chicken, beef or pork. This recipe is an easy option to use any leftover mashed potatoes you had from an earlier meal or a holiday buffet. We often make these potato pancakes with our leftover mashed potatoes after Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Potato pancakes are a great side dish, but you can also serve them for breakfast or as a tasty snack. Serve them with an egg and a side of bacon or sausage for an easy breakfast that’s fancier than cereal! They are so easy to make, our older kids make the potato pancakes for themselves.
These potato pancakes are delicious served with just salt, but you can also serve them with butter, sour cream, cheese green onions and more. You can also cook a little cheese or onion flecks into the potato pancakes if you like. If you’d like to make them look fancier, you can top with more cheese or sour cream and your choice of green onions, parsley or cilantro.
If you like you can top these potato pancake with mayonnaise or dip them in ketchup, ranch dressing, honey mustard dressing, fry sauce or anything else you might eat with French fries, hash browns or other potatoes. Arby’s Horsey sauce would also go well with them!
