Add some fresh parsley or chives on top of the dish to give it more flavor. This brings a burst of color and a touch of freshness that goes well with the delicious flavors.

Tips for storing items:
Let the beef and noodles cool down to room temperature before putting them in containers for storage. This helps stop moisture buildup and keeps the food from getting wet.
Refrigeration tip: Keep leftover food in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Remember to close the container tightly to keep the food fresh.
Freezing: If you have a lot of food or want to keep some for another time, this dish freezes well. Put leftover food in a container that can be frozen or in a sealed plastic bag. It can be kept in the freezer for 3 months.
To warm up food again, first defrost frozen parts in the fridge overnight. Warm up the food in a pot on low heat, stirring from time to time. Alternatively, you can heat it in the microwave for short periods, stirring in between, until it is hot. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a little bit of beef broth or water.

Differences:
Beef and Vegetable Noodle Dish:
Include vegetables: Add diced carrots, potatoes, or bell peppers to the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. They will cook with the beef to enhance the taste and provide more nutrients.
Frozen vegetables: You can also use frozen peas, corn, or green beans for convenience. Include them during the final 30 minutes of cooking.
Creamy Beef Tips & Noodles: To make the sauce richer and creamier, add 1/2 cup of sour cream or cream cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will make the dish taste tangy and smooth.
Spicy Beef Tips & Noodles:
To make it spicy, add 1-2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, hot sauce, or chopped jalapeño pepper. Change the quantity according to how spicy you like it.
Beef with Herbs and Noodles: Include Fresh Herbs: Add a few fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or basil for a fragrant touch. Put these herbs in the food during the final hour of cooking to keep their taste.
Asian-style Beef and Noodles:
Try this new twist: Instead of using Lipton onion soup mix, use soy sauce and add a little sesame oil. Add some sliced mushrooms and a spoonful of hoisin sauce to give it an Asian touch.
Noodles: Replace egg noodles with rice noodles or udon noodles for a genuine Asian flavor.
Beef and Noodles with Wine:
Include red wine. Pour 1/2 cup of red wine into the crockpot before adding the rest of the ingredients. This will give the sauce a richer taste. Simmer the beef broth a little to even out the liquid.
Beef chunks and noodles in a tomato sauce:
Put some tomato sauce. To make a tomato version, add 1 cup of tomato sauce or chopped tomatoes to the rest of the ingredients. This makes the taste stronger and more intense.
Beef Tips & Noodles with Few Carbs:
Replace Noodles: Use spiralized zucchini or cauliflower rice instead of egg noodles to lower the amount of carbs.
You can try different options to match your taste or dietary requirements. Every change adds a different taste to the traditional Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles dish!
