Beef and Noodles with Mashed Potatoes

my friend andi said that she loves this meal, but needs a recipe for it. well, it just so happens that i used to make the beef and noodles at the essenhaus sometimes. so, this is what i remember.

make a lot of roast beef one night. make sure you have left overs. save the juice. this is the beef broth. save the meat and shred it. get some egg noodles and cook them in the beef broth. when they are done, drain them and add the beef. that's all it is. now, as far as the mashed potatoes go, i'm sure you know how, but just in case you don't: slice and boil your potatoes. drain, add milk, butter, and salt. mash. when i do potatoes i wash them, but don't peel them. i like to eat the skins because i hear they are good for you. i do the same with most vegetables. also, it saves time. now i need to make this.

Oh Ruthie, You just made my whole day. I know it is really ridiculous, but I have been telling everyone I know lately how much I have been dying for some of these. Comfort Food! I am getting a roast out of my freezer right now. Do you just add water to the bottom of the crock pot? any veggies? Seasoning? or just chuck it in there and let it go? I really cannot wait. Yeah for Ruthie and yeah for working at Essenhaus!
