Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles dry
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks equivalent to 2 sticks
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste optional, for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spray the inside of a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker lightly with nonstick cooking spray or rub with a bit of butter.
  2. Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker, cover, and turn to HIGH. Heat for about 30 to 45 minutes until very hot and steaming.
Cooking
  1. Once the broth is hot, stir in the chunks of butter until mostly melted and the liquid looks glossy.
  2. Add the dry egg noodles, pressing them down into the buttery broth. Cover and cook on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring gently every 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. When the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed into a rich, buttery sauce, turn the slow cooker to WARM.
  4. If too brothy, leave the lid off for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serving
  1. Spoon the noodles into bowls and finish with freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of chicken broth.
