Amish Cabbage Noodles

Instructions

1. Cook the noodles
   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the onion
   In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent.
3. Add the cabbage
   Stir in the chopped cabbage and remaining butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender and slightly golden—about 15–20 minutes.
4. Season well
   Add salt and pepper to taste. If using bacon, stir it in at this stage.
5. Combine with noodles
   Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and gently toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
6. Serve warm
   Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately while warm and buttery.

Tips for the Best Results

• Don’t rush the cabbage: Let it cook down slowly to develop its natural sweetness
• Use wide egg noodles for better texture and bite
• Add a splash of broth if the mixture feels dry while cooking
• Try a pinch of garlic or paprika for a subtle twist

Serving Ideas

Amish Cabbage Noodles pair beautifully with:

• Roast chicken or pork
• Sausage or smoked meats
• Or simply on their own with a slice of buttered bread
