Homemade Noodles, Are You Nuts?

I found this recipe on the web, modified it to fit my family's taste and it is always a hit. It is a little messy, but not difficult to make.

Start with a beef roast (pork would work, too). Brown the roast and some onion in oil or butter. Add 1/2 cup or so of water or broth and bake at 325 till tender, about 3 hours. The crock pot works well for this, too.

While meat is cooking, mix 1 cup flour (if you use all purpose add 1/2 t salt), and egg and 2 T milk into a stiff dough. Roll out thin on a floured surface and cut into narrow (1/8-1/4 inch) strips. Cover and chill till ready to cook.

When the roast is done, remove from the pan and keep warm. Add a can of beef broth to the water in the pan, (you can add enough water to cook the noodles, then thicken with a packet of beef gravy mix) . Boil the liquid, add noodles, cook 8-10 minutes, if you aren't thickening the broth, drain the noodles and serve with the roast.

I also usually add veggies to the roast, carrots, potatoes, whatever you like. The noodles recipe doubles easily and I usually do because my kids love them.

Happy Eating!
