Ingredients and Prep Tips
Essential Ingredients
To make this recipe, you only need three main ingredients:
- 12 oz egg noodles: These are the perfect base for absorbing the buttery flavor.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter: Using unsalted allows you to control the saltiness.
- 2 cups chicken broth: Opt for low-sodium if you want to adjust seasoning later.
These ingredients are pantry staples, meaning you can pull this recipe together at a moment’s notice.
Prep for Perfect Noodles
Start by measuring the egg noodles and placing them in the slow cooker. Slice the butter into small pats and distribute evenly over the noodles. Pour the chicken broth on top. This ensures even cooking and a consistent buttery coating. A few prep tricks: use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup and stir gently before serving to coat the noodles in sauce.
