Have you ever been to Frankenmuth and ordered the family style dinner? If so, you have tasted those amazing buttered noodles with the cracker topping. Oh my goodness, I could eat those all day long. After a visit there several years ago, I started searching for a copy cat recipe to get as close as possible to that wonderful dish. (Actually, I was looking for a squash recipe to begin with and when I couldn't find that, I searched for the noodles!) I'll be honest, one of the keys to this recipe is buying Amish Noodles. I found these at Meijer quite by accident the first time I decided to make this recipe:
Which, by the way, Das Essenhaus is also an amazing place to eat in Shippshawana Indiana. Such fabulous food! Back to the noodles. Another reason I love this recipe is because it is a TRUE family favorite in the fact that every person in the family loves these noodles. That is success in my book!
Ingredients:
1/2 gallon water (or enough to cook the noodles in like you normally would!)
2 chicken bouillon cubes
8 ounces extra wide egg noodles (I just use the bag of Amish Noodles shown above)
1/2 cup water
6 ounces of butter (or 12 Tablespoons!)
Ritz Crackers (and they must be Ritz!), crushed
Directions
Add 1 bullion cube to the "noodle" water in a medium put, bring to a boil. Add noodles and set a timer for 1 min. longer than the longest time listed on the package, stir a couple of times while cooking.
While the noodles are boiling, add 1/2 cup water, chicken bullion cube, and butter to a microwave safe dish and microwave for 45 secs. - 1 minute (or until butter is melted.
- When noodles are done drain water from pot but do not rinse, add butter mixture and parsley. Mix well until most liquid is absorbed, about a minute.
- Serve immediately with crushed Ritz crackers on top.
So, super easy and super tasty!
