“I modified the ingredients in this main dish to suit my family,” notes Geri Faustich of Appleton, Wisconsin. “It’s quick to put together in the morning, and at the end of the day, all we do is cook the noodles and eat!” TIP: “This recipe can be doubled or tripled, which I often do when we’re spending time at the cottage with two other families.”

I used a wheat beer and it added a mellow flavor but could use more heat or spice for the next time

It was not bad but the beer flavor was really strong. Not a flavorful as I had imagined

This was wonderful. I used a light domestic beer. And I mixed the finished beef mixture with buttered noodles. I do recommend making this the day before it is served. The flavors are much better. I will make this again.

This was very good, but I thought the beer taste was overwhelming. Next time I will make it without the beer and substitute beef stock and a little red wine.

So good!
My family loves this recipe and requests it over and over. I usually double the beef, but only use one can of beer. It's always yummy. I'm making it tonight and the smell is amazing drifting through the house!

I gave it 2 stars , not 3!
This wasn't very good. All you could taste was thyme and other than that, it was bland! There are much better beef and noodle recipes.

This wasn't bad. A little too much thyme flavor for my taste. Might leave that out and use more garlic next time, though I will make this again. I also intened to add more onions. Served it with mashed potaotes instead of noodles.

Ended up with 2 1/2 lbs of meat so I needed double the beer etc. Didn't have any soy sauce so used double the worch. sauce. Not much taste until I added beef base granules to the gravy at the end. Overall very good, very easy, might try a dash of basalmic vinegar in it to kick up the flavor next time. baker 1576
