Equipment
Ingredients
- 2½ lbs (1135 g) top round roast
- ½ cup (150 g) cream cheese
- 2 cups (600 g) beef broth
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp (6 g) garlic powder
- 2 tsp (6 g) paprika
- 1 tsp (6 g) salt
- 1 tsp (3 g) pepper
- 1 medium (200 g) onion
- 1 lb (454 g) carrots
- ½ lb (227 g) mushrooms
- 1½ lbs (681 g) pasta I used fusilli
- 3 tbsp (24 g) starch tapioca or cornstarch
- ¼ cup (60 g) water
- ½ cup (150 g) plain greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp (15 g) dijon mustard
- ¼ cup chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
For the Slow Cooker
- Wash and cut all of your vegetables. Cut your onion into a small dice, the carrots into a large dice (about 1 inch pieces), and your mushrooms into a large dice as well.
- Into the vessel of your slow cooker add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to mix in the seasonings.
- For the beef I used top round (London Broil). This is a cheap, lean piece of meat. Top sirloin is a more tender piece of beef of similar leanness but it is more expensive. Feel free to use either.
- Lay the beef into the vessel and place it into the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
- When there are 30 minutes left of cook time, add in the mushrooms and carrots and stir to cover with the liquid.
For the Pasta
- After you add in the vegetables you can start on your pasta. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the pasta of your choosing. I used fusilli.
- Strain and set aside when finished cooking.
For the Sauce
- After the slow cooker timer is finished, remove the lid and pull out the beef. Set it aside to break down.
- Mix together 3 tbsp of tapioca starch (or cornstarch) with ¼ cup of cold water to make a slurry.
- Drizzle the slurry into the slow cooker and stir constantly to thicken the sauce.
- Next add in the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and dijon mustard. Stir to melt the cheese and combine.
- Break the beef down into bite sized pieces or shred it up. Add it to the sauce and mix.
- Dump in your pasta and mix until all of the sauce is evenly distributed. Taste test and adjust with salt and pepper to meet your needs.
Plating
- This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide the contents of the slow cooker evenly between your containers. Top with chopped parsley for garnish if you please.

Nice
It really wasn’t that good
Week 2 of meal prep.
Guy who said he didn’t like it had me worried it would be bland so I used jalapeño cream cheese and 2tbsp Dijon mustard. I also used matchstick carrots I had on hand instead of chopping whole carrots, and chickpea pasta for the added fiber.
The recipe was very simple and easy to follow, no video required.
Ended up with 7 bowls of 450-500g each; had one for today, four for work, and two for a house guest. It looks great plated, and my guest is excited to try it.
I’m glad I did substitutions bc the heat from the jalapeño cream cheese is 100% what this dish needed to not be bland. The matchstick carrots provided a nice crunch and are visually pleasing.
I do like the addition of the yogurt for the added protein and the creaminess it helps provide. Next time I might try like a lemon or lime flavor to switch of the flavor profile.
We’ll see how I feel on Thursday at lunch but after one bowl I am satisfied and would recommend this recipe.
Thanks Josh
