Introduction
Slow Cooker Amish Butter Noodles are the definition of simple comfort food. This cozy dish combines tender egg noodles, rich butter, and flavorful broth into a creamy, satisfying side or main meal. Inspired by traditional Amish-style cooking, the recipe uses only a few pantry staples while delivering warm, homemade flavor with very little effort.

Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package egg noodles
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), sliced
Instructions
- Spray the slow cooker lightly with cooking spray or grease it with butter.
- Add the chicken broth and sliced butter to the slow cooker. Cover and heat on HIGH for about 20 minutes until the butter melts.
- Stir in the egg noodles, making sure they are mostly covered by the liquid.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring once or twice during cooking to prevent sticking.
- Once the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stir well and serve warm.
Description
These Amish Butter Noodles are soft, buttery, and full of rich homemade flavor. The broth gives the noodles a savory depth while the butter creates a silky coating that makes every bite comforting and satisfying. The texture is tender and cozy, making this dish an easy favorite for both kids and adults.
Serve them as a hearty side dish with roasted chicken, pork chops, or meatloaf, or enjoy them on their own for a simple meal.
Tips
- For extra creaminess, stir in 1/4 cup cream cheese or sour cream before serving.
- Use wide egg noodles for the best Amish-style texture.
- Stir occasionally so the noodles cook evenly and do not clump together.
- If the noodles absorb too much liquid, add a splash of warm broth near the end of cooking.
- Fresh parsley or black pepper adds extra flavor and color.
Correction
A small adjustment improves the recipe results:
- Instead of cooking the noodles for the entire time without stirring, stir once or twice during cooking to keep the noodles from sticking together.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the slow cooker model, so begin checking for tenderness after 1 1/2 hours.
