Usually when I make a roast, it's potatoes all the way but this time I
switched things up with homemade dumplings! Ummm...soooo, yeah. Yum! If
you've never made dumplings, then you're in for a real treat! Easy and
so much more tasty than store bought! This recipe is homey and even the
leftovers are good!!
Roast Beef with Homemade Noodles
1 2-3 pound chuck roast
1 medium onion
6 cups water ~ divided
1 tablespoon beef bullion (3 cubes)
salt & pepper to taste
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
5 tablespoons milk
Slice onion and place in the bottom of your crock pot. Add 1 cup of water. Sprinkle with bullion or place cubes in crockpot.
Place roast on top of onions. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours.
For the noodles:**
Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl.
Make a well in the center. Add eggs and milk and stir to form a stiff dough.
Turn dough onto a well-floured surface and knead a couple of minutes until smooth. Cut dough in half.
Roll each piece into a 15"x12" inch rectangle.
Cut
into 1/8" strips. Place strips onto a plate in layers, giving each
layer a light sprinkling of flour to help eliminate sticking.
Cover and chill until ready to cook.
When roast is done, pour liquid into a large saucepan.
Add remaining 5 cups water and bring to a boil.
Add noodles and cook about 10 minutes, until tender.
Drain noodles (save liquid for pouring over roast, if desired) and place on a platter. Add roast and serve!
** Ready made egg noodles may be substituted for homemade

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!
