Recipe Notes

- Cream Soup – To make the sauce creamier, add in a can of cream of mushroom soup.
- Noodles – We used egg noodles, but you can use other types of noodles.
- Vegetables – Add in vegetables such as broccoli or carrots to make it a complete meal.
- Ground Beef – You can also use ground beef instead of roast for the meat.
- Sauce – Worcestershire Sauce can be added in. It is great combined with the other ingredients.
- Onion Soup Mix – Any easy substitute for chopped onion is add a packet of onion soup mix or make Homemade Onion Soup Mix.
- Bouillon Cubes – For even more flavor, you can add in 2 beef bouillon cubes when adding in the broth.
