Below is a detailed, step-by-step guide to making this classic dish at home.

Crockpot Amish Egg Noodles: A Cozy Slow-Cooked Classic

What Makes This Dish Special?

Amish-style egg noodles are traditionally made with simple pantry ingredients—flour, eggs, and a bit of salt—then simmered in broth until tender. When adapted for the crockpot, the noodles slowly absorb savory flavors from broth, butter, and sometimes chicken, resulting in a creamy, rich, and deeply comforting dish.

Unlike stovetop versions that require constant attention, the crockpot method allows the noodles to cook gently without sticking or burning.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Base Ingredients:

• 6–8 cups chicken broth (or turkey broth for richer flavor)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional but recommended)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Main Components:

• 12–16 oz Amish-style egg noodles (wide, thick noodles work best)
• 2–3 cups cooked shredded chicken (optional but commonly used)

Optional Add-ins:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half (for creamier texture)
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup chopped celery
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crockpot Base

Pour the chicken broth into your crockpot. Add the butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Stir lightly to distribute the seasonings. The butter will melt as it heats, creating a rich base for the noodles.

👉 Tip: If you are adding vegetables like carrots or celery, place them in now so they have time to soften.

Step 2: Add Protein (Optional but Recommended)

If you’re using chicken, add the cooked shredded chicken to the broth mixture.

This transforms the dish from a side into a full, hearty meal. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.

Step 3: Slow Cook the Base

Cover the crockpot and cook:

• LOW for 4–5 hours or
• HIGH for 2–3 hours

The goal is to allow the broth to become well-seasoned and the vegetables (if used) to soften.
