Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 6 tablespoons butter sliced
  • Optional for serving: parsley black pepper, or grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker and add the sliced butter.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for about 20 minutes, or until the butter is fully melted.
  • Add the egg noodles to the slow cooker and gently stir so the noodles are mostly covered by the broth mixture.
  • Cover again and cook on HIGH for 1 ½ to 2 hours, stirring once or twice while they cook, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Stir the noodles well before serving.
  • For a richer finish, add a little extra butter and stir until melted.
  • Serve warm with parsley, black pepper, or grated parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, begin checking the noodles near the 1 ½-hour mark since slow cookers can heat differently. Remove them from the heat once they are tender so they stay soft and buttery without becoming mushy.
