wAmish Mustard Cream Noodles

Introduction

Amish Mustard Cream Noodles are a rich, comforting dish made with tender egg noodles coated in a silky mustard-infused cream sauce. This simple recipe combines pantry staples like butter, cream, and yellow mustard to create a cozy side dish or satisfying main meal with old-fashioned farmhouse flavor. Slow-cooked to creamy perfection, these noodles are hearty, buttery, and full of comforting homemade goodness that pairs beautifully with roasted meats, sausages, or vegetables.

Ingredients

• 12 oz wide egg noodles (dry)
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
• 1 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper (optional, to taste)
• 1 1/2 cups hot water (for cooking noodles in slow cooker, as needed)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker

Lightly butter or spray the inside of a medium slow cooker (about 4–6 quarts) to help prevent the noodles from sticking during cooking.

2. Make the Cream Sauce

Pour the heavy cream into the slow cooker. Whisk in the prepared yellow mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly combined.

3. Add Water

Stir in 1 cup of the hot water to slightly thin the sauce. The mixture should still be creamy but loose enough to help cook the noodles evenly.

4. Add the Noodles

Place the dry wide egg noodles into the slow cooker and gently toss them in the mustard cream sauce. Try to coat and slightly submerge as many noodles as possible. If the noodles appear too dry, add up to an additional 1/2 cup of hot water.

5. Add Butter

Scatter the butter pieces evenly across the top of the noodles. As the dish cooks, the butter will melt into the sauce, creating a rich and glossy texture.

6. Slow Cook

Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir gently every 30 minutes if possible, making sure to tuck the noodles back into the sauce for even cooking. If the mixture starts looking dry before the noodles are tender, stir in small splashes of hot water as needed.

7. Check for Doneness

Begin checking the noodles after about 1 1/2 hours. The noodles should be tender but not mushy, and the sauce should thicken into a creamy, buttery coating rather than remain soupy.

8. Adjust Seasoning

Taste the noodles and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a little more salt or an extra spoonful of mustard if you prefer a stronger tangy flavor.

9. Rest and Serve

Turn the slow cooker to WARM and let the noodles rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to settle into a velvety coating. Serve hot straight from the slow cooker.

Conclusion

These Amish Mustard Cream Noodles are the ultimate comfort food with their creamy texture, buttery richness, and subtle tangy flavor. Easy to prepare and wonderfully satisfying, they make an excellent side dish for family dinners or a cozy standalone meal. Whether served alongside roasted chicken, pork chops, or enjoyed on their own, these creamy noodles deliver warm, homemade comfort in every bite.
