Slow cooker Amish corn noodles are the kind of simple comfort food that earns a permanent spot in the dinner rotation, especially when you want something easy, cozy, and family-friendly. This dish leans on just a handful of pantry and freezer staples, letting sweet corn, buttery richness, and tender egg noodles come together in a way that feels old-fashioned and homey, like something passed around at a summer potluck or Sunday supper table.
This recipe pairs really well with roasted chicken, meatloaf, ham, or simple pork chops, and it also works as a comforting side for grilled foods when fresh corn is in season. If you want to round out the meal, add green beans, a crisp cucumber salad, or sliced tomatoes for a fresh contrast to the creamy noodles.
Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Amish Corn Noodles
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 bag (24 ounces) frozen egg noodles
4 cups sweet corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Directions
1. Add the frozen egg noodles, corn, butter, chicken broth, and salt to a white slow cooker. Stir gently to combine, making sure the noodles are mostly covered by the broth.
2. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, stirring once or twice if possible, until the noodles are tender and the butter and broth have formed a rich sauce.
3. Stir well, taste, and add a little more salt if needed. Let the noodles sit uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes if you want the sauce to thicken slightly before serving.
Variations & Tips
Add black pepper: A few grinds of black pepper at the end give the dish a little more depth without changing its simple, comforting flavor.
Make it richer: Stir in a splash of heavy cream or a spoonful of cream cheese at the end if you want an even creamier sauce for holiday meals or potlucks.
Use fresh summer corn: If you have fresh corn on hand, cut the kernels straight off the cob for the sweetest flavor and best texture during peak corn season.
Watch the liquid: Different brands of noodles can absorb broth differently, so check near the end of cooking. If the mixture looks dry, add a small splash of extra broth; if it looks too loose, let it sit uncovered for a few minutes before serving.
