Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the stew beef in about 2 tablespoons of oil; drain excess fat.
- Mix the browned beef with cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix, water, mushrooms, and pepper in a 3-quart casserole dish.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
- Serve the beef tips over cooked egg noodles.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the stew beef overnight in the cream of mushroom soup. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a low-fat version or a homemade mushroom sauce. You can also add vegetables like carrots or peas for extra nutrition, similar to what you might find in Beefy V-8 Soup.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef tips over the egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. A side of steamed green beans or a simple garden salad pairs well, providing a fresh contrast to the rich flavors of the dish. For a heartier meal, consider serving with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a saucepan over low heat or microwave in short intervals until heated through. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water or broth to restore the desired consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use chicken or pork instead of beef. Just adjust the cooking time as needed, since chicken may take less time to cook through. For a vegetarian option, consider using mushrooms or a meat substitute.
