'Amish Pantry Hack'—Just 3 ingredients. I make it on repeat because it’s insanely easy.

There's something so comforting about a dish of buttery noodles, and this simple Amish Buttered Noodles recipe brings that comfort with just three ingredients and minimal effort. Perfect for busy weeknights when you want something warm and satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen. These noodles are a staple in Midwestern homes, known for their rich, buttery flavor and easy preparation. You can pop everything into the slow cooker and have a delicious side or main dish ready with minimal fuss.

These buttered noodles are incredibly versatile and can be paired with a variety of sides. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside roasted chicken or pork chops. A fresh garden salad or steamed green beans make for a refreshing contrast to the rich, buttery noodles. If you're looking for something heartier, add some sautéed mushrooms or spinach directly into the noodles for extra flavor and nutrients.

Servings: 4

12 ounces egg noodles

Place the egg noodles into the slow cooker.

Add the sliced butter on top of the noodles.

Pour the chicken broth over the noodles and butter.

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the broth.

Stir the noodles to evenly coat them with the melted butter before serving.

For a cheesy twist, stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese before serving. To add some protein, consider mixing in shredded cooked chicken or sautéed shrimp. You can also incorporate herbs like parsley or thyme for added flavor. If you're watching your salt intake, use low-sodium chicken broth and adjust the amount of butter to taste.
