Sit down to a cozy dinner of beef and noodles with tomatoes. The thick egg noodles are cooked with chunks of beef and rich tomato sauce making for a perfect comfort food meal.
Are you looking for a new dinner recipe to feed you family? Look no further!
Get your dutch oven out and stew some beef in a simple gravy and throw in some egg noodles. It will fill them up and have them coming back for more!
This is one of the recipes that MiMi has made over the years and couldn’t wait to share on the blog. Now, almost 4 years later I thought it would be fun to make it again and update the pictures a bit.
It was the perfect dinner recipe to warm us all up on a snowy day. Little Dude loved it and so did my husband, even if he couldn’t help but to put a little cheese on top!
Now here is the original post from MiMi:
Once upon a time, long long ago when I was a little girl, we had neighbors by the last name of Cavanaugh. Mrs. Cavanaugh shared her noodle recipe with my mom, Maw Maw.
If I remember correctly, she entered and won a contest sponsored by Kluski noodles. The following is her recipe the way we remember it.

Maw Maw doesn’t know what she would have done with the original recipe. It’s possible that I finally convinced her to look for her recipe box.
I hope she finds it because she has some really good recipes in there. For the most part, she just memorized all of the meals she made and rarely used a recipe.
She thinks I was probably between three and five years old when we got this recipe. I remember when she let me shake the beef cubes in the bag of flour.
I’m sure I had a lot of fun helping my mom make dinner. I know that I really enjoyed eating this meal.
Maw Maw suggests serving it with broccoli.
Whenever she has a tomato based meal, she likes to have a green vegetable as a side dish. If you give this recipe a try you will understand why it won a recipe contest and why we still prepare it this many years later.

I think I need to make this again
Yes you do 😋
That sounds fantastic! Definitely a meal that would be husband approved!
Could you cook this in a crock pot? How long?Thanks
I don't see why not! I would think 4-6 hours on low or 2-4 on high? A little longer wouldn't hurt anything and just add the pasta at the end.
Sounds so soul soothing! YUM!
It really is!
What a yummy looking recipe! Those passed down recipes are the best. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and sharing this on Five Friday Finds!
When three (and now four) generations have enjoyed a recipe, you do have to figure it is pretty good!
We always enjoy it!
Thanks! It is a family favorite, that is for sure!
It is a really nice homey comfort food!
This was delicious, wonderful comfort food!
It is a keeper, that is for sure. My mom has been itching to make this ever since I made the blog. She and my maw-maw have been doing a lot of reminiscing over the food she remembers as a child!
