These Creamy Baked Noodles are one of those recipes for our family. They're such a versatile and simple little side dish. -- So simple, in fact, I truly wondered if I should even share them here on the blog.
But then I thought - Hey, we really love Creamy Baked Noodles ... and you all may, too!
Mixed up with just five simple ingredients and a little salt and pepper, Creamy Baked Noodles are truly easy to prepare. Shoot, you can even mix everything together in the same baking dish the noodles will be baked in, if you'd like - saving on the mixing bowl clean-up.
Not only are these creamy noodles easy to make, they pair well as a simple side dish for just about anything. Though, we do tend to eat them most often alongside juicy pan fried pork chops or a nice roasted pork tenderloin.

Creamy Baked Noodles Ingredients:
It takes just 5 simple ingredients (+ some salt and pepper) to make these tasty Creamy Baked Noodles. To whip up a pan, you'll need:
- Egg noodles - The foundation of the dish. While other types of noodles could be substituted, we like the texture of egg noodles and the wide surface they provide for the creamy elements to cling to.
- Cottage cheese - The first of the dish's creamy elements. Regular or reduced-fat cottage cheese can be used, just fine.
- Sour cream - The second of the dish's creamy elements. Regular or reduced-fat sour cream both work well in this recipe.
- Parmesan cheese - Adds a nice bit of flavor to the baked noodles. Use shredded or grated Parmesan, whichever you prefer.
- Worcestershire sauce - Seasons the noodles and brings wonderful background flavor and richness to the dish.
- Salt & pepper - As with most any recipe, a bit of salt and pepper amps up the flavors of the dish.

This looks awesome! I think I'll add some frozen peas, and this will be an excellent side dish with fish. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! This is in the oven baking as I type. My tummy got the better of me and demanded that I cram a forkful into my face before it went in the oven and, if that bite was any indication, I know I'm in for a real treat!

Hello Tracey, we made this a few minutes ago and it’s very good but we felt it needed a little something, so we diced up some prosciutto and tossed it in and omg it took it up a level to be a main dish.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe!
