Egg noodles, often overlooked, are a cheap and versatile ingredient that can enhance a variety of dishes, including casseroles and soups. Retailing at around $1.50 for a 16-ounce bag, egg noodles can bulk up meals, making them ideal for budget-conscious cooking. The article reminisces about personal culinary experiences with egg noodles while encouraging home cooks to explore their potential beyond traditional recipes. It introduces 11 easy egg noodle recipes, showcasing their ability to adapt and enhance meals, appealing to both nostalgic and modern tastes.
The humble egg noodle does not get the love it deserves. It can bulk up a casserole, carry a big scoop of literally any other food on top, or add some substance to a soup.
That said, you may only know one or two dishes by heart that star these cheap little guys—but they're way more versatile than that.
Personally, egg noodles take me right back to being a kid again. My mom and I would eat them sometimes with green peas, butter, and salt - and that's it.
But she would also use them as the base under chicken cooked in the Crock-Pot with cream-of-something soup, or the occasional pot roast.
