Crockpot Beef Curry with Noodles

I recently travelled with my slow cooker down to South Carolina to try this recipe on my parents. The broth is to die for, and it turned out perfectly since my mom had a cough and this soup was warm and spicy. In my family, Thai food is always a big hit, and this was no exception.  

My husband laughed when I threw the slow cooker into the back of my Rav4, but this is just what we do, right? 

Cooking a chuck roast on low for 10 hours in a blend of Asian spices is nothing short of amazing. The meat is tender and flavorful, with the perfect amount of heat.
