How to Make Mississippi Beef Noodles in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
If you have looked around Recipes That Crock very much, you might have noticed that we love Mississippi recipes. (You can find them all here.) I am not sure how we have not made this Crock Pot Mississippi Beef Noodles before, but as soon as I saw the gap in our Mississippi line, I knew I had to make it!
This is a great recipe when you need a cooking time that is all day long. You can quickly put it on in the morning before you leave your home for the day and it will be ready for you to shred when you get home. I love those kind of recipes!
One of the great things about beef in a crock pot is that even the toughest cut of meat becomes fall apart tender if you cook it on low all day. So, no matter what kind of roast you have on hand or find on sale, this recipe will give you wonderfully tender beef alongside your delicious noodles. Win win!
What You Will Need
Ingredients Needed
- 3 lbs beef roast
- 1 Packet Ranch Dressing Mix

Equipment Needed
- Measuring cup
- 6 quart slow cooker
Time Needed
- Prep Time: 5 minutes (or less)

I have made this twice now love it!
Sarah says
They was real good, good flavor, will make again
Elaine says
I just made this with a big package of stew meat. Hope it works! It was in the freezer and it sounded delicious.
Do you think this will work?
Aunt Lou says
I think it could work, but the cooking time will change. Watch it closely so you know when the stew meat is tender. Then you can go ahead with the steps to add the noodles since you won’t necessarily need to shred the beef. Of course, if you want to shred the stew meat, you could. I’d love to hear how it turns out!
Jess M says
Pepperocini – Is it 6 whole pepperocinis that are shredded with beef at the end or 6 rings of pepperocini from pre-cut pepperocini slices? Thanks!
Aunt Lou says
It is 6 whole pepperoncinis. I usually take them out right before I shred the beef and then have them available to whoever wants to add them to their serving. Enjoy!
Allison says
I’m interested in cooking this with half beef and half venison. I’m not particularly fond of gamey tasting venison so thought this might be perfect! Any ideas if I need to make other adjustments because the venison is so lean? Thanks!!
Aunt Lou says
I haven’t ever tried this recipe with half beef half venison. Unfortunately, I do not have much experience cooking with venison in general and have not ever cooked it in a crock pot. I think it might be an interesting adjustment to this recipe. If you give it a try, I would love to hear how it turns out.
Rebecca says
Is it okay to shorten the time by cooking it on high for half the time?
Aunt Lou says
It is possible to shorten the cooking time by cooking on high, but I do not recommend it. Beef does best when it is cooked on low for a longer time. If you cook it on high, it might turn out tougher instead of fall-apart tender. I hope this helps.
Marissa Knipp says
This may be a silly question, but this is my first time cooking beef roast in general. Ithaw it first right? I know some things can be cooked frozen and the 8-10 hour cook time threw me off.
Aunt Lou says
Not a silly question at all! Food safety experts recommend thawing meat before cooking it in a crock pot. You can find more information here: https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Is-it-safe-to-cook-frozen-foods-in-a-slow-cooker-or-crock-pot. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
Lyndsey says
I have made Mississippi roast many times but never with a brown gravy packet. Usually just the au ju mix. I’m wondering what the difference would be?
Aunt Lou says
We have made it with both kinds of mixes, and like it both ways. We didn’t find the taste to be much different. Enjoy!
Arlinda Myeburger says
May sound like a silly question but, can you use ground beef instead????
Aunt Lou says
I haven’t tried this recipe with ground beef, but like the idea! If you give it a try, let me know how it goes.
Amber JB says
This is a fantastic recipe, I’ve made it many times now for my family of 11. We’ve started swapping out pork roast for the beef because our family is so large and pork is far cheaper. Even still, it’s absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.
Susan says
Can you use regular egg noodles instead of the frozen? I can’t find them
Aunt Lou says
I haven’t tried this with egg noodles, but I think it could work. However, the cooking time on the noodles will most likely be different, so watch them closely the first time you make it so you can know how to adjust the timing. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
carole welle says
I made this recipe this evening and it was totally scrumptious.
I had to use packaged noodles and using those instead of the frozen, it takes 3 hours for the dry packaged noodles.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I’m sure this will be requested alot by my family.
Dakota Fulk says
what type of roast should be used?
Aunt Lou says
We have tried this with a variety of roasts and had great results. Since it is cooking low and slow, you can use whatever roast is on sale. The longer cooking time on low heat is great for taking even a tough cut of beef and making it fork tender. If it isn’t fork tender when you check it, give it a little more time. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
