Description

A nostalgic classic, these creamy egg noodles coated in a savory sauce are perfect for busy families or quick weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Begin by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain the noodles and set them aside.
  2. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble gently without browning.
  3. Add the condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken broth to the skillet. Mix well, incorporating the butter into the sauce, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Continue mixing until everything is well blended and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Once the sauce is heated through, add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Toss gently with the sauce to ensure that all the noodles are well coated.
  6. Let the noodles simmer in the sauce for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated thoroughly and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  7. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
  8. Serve your creamy Cafeteria Noodles warm, either as a delightful side dish or a satisfying main course!

Notes

Consider adding fresh parsley or cheese for extra flavor. This dish can easily be made vegetarian by swapping chicken broth for vegetable broth.
