I haven’t had beef and noodles for so long I almost forgot how good it is! After more than 2 weeks of frigid weather I am hungry for something from my smoker too. This week end was nice enough but I am still not up to par yet.
For good beef and noodles you need homemade noodles. Since I am not good at making them I am lucky and have been buying them for years that come from a small bakery in Van Wert, OH near my hometown. They are better than any homemade I have ever tasted. I used to drive over and get some when I visited my Mom. Then a guy that cans beef and chicken, Waltz Meats buys them from the bakery and has them along with his canned meat at groceries around the area. Now I can buy them locally.
I bought a small chuck roast, 1 ½ pounds from my butcher to use. I seasoned it with salt and pepper and browned it on all sides. It went into the Crockpot I had sprayed with a little olive oil and laid it on some sliced onions. I deglazed the skillet with some beef broth and poured it over the roast. I added enough beef broth to come up half way on the roast and sprinkled in some dried garlic flakes. It was on low about 7 hours total.
For our dessert tonight I made a peach and cream cheese pie after I got the beef on. I make it a lot since you don’t need to roll out the dough. I am not very good at rolling dough for noodles or pies! With this one I just place the dough in the pie pan and press it out with my fingers.
After I got the pie done I made my potatoes. I like russets for mashed potatoes but I had some baby yellow potatoes the needed used. I trimmed the ends leaving the skins on, cut up and boiled 15 minutes. I drained them and added 4 Tbs. butter and 2 Tbs. sour cream to mash up. They would be easy to just nuke in the microwave at supper time.
At 4:30 I removed the roast and let it cool some the shredded and removed fat. It went back into the Crockpot and turned it up to high. A little before 6:00 I buttered some bread sprinkled on some Penzey’s sandwich sprinkle, some dried garlic flakes and a little parmesan Romano cheese. I toasted it under the broiler.
I served my wife then made up my plate. That sure tasted good!!! My dessert later was good too!

Here it is Cliff.
PEACHES AND CREAM CHEESE PIE
3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 box vanilla pudding (not instant)
2 tbsp. butter
1 egg
Combine above ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour into a
9 or 10 inch pie pan. Instead of using a mixer I just blend well with a fork. Place in pie pan & Use fingers to spread evenly in the pan.
Drain, saving the juice, 15-20 oz. can of peaches. Arrange over mixture in pie pan.
TOPPING:
Combine: 8 oz. cream cheese, 1/2 c. sugar 3 to 4 tbsp. peach juice
Spread over peaches in pie pan.
Combine: 1 tbsp. sugar & cinnamon (optional)
Sprinkle over cream cheese mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.

You always have such interesting dishes over there!
That's one big reason I love this forum-- something that's fairly common in one part of the country is totally new elsewhere!

Looks great Don, another home run. ;)
