🍜 Slow Cooker Butter Noodles

📝 Ingredients (Serves 6)

👩‍🍳 Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Prepare the slow cooker
   Lightly grease a 4–6 quart slow cooker.
2. Heat the broth
   Pour broth into the slow cooker. Cover and set to HIGH for 30–45 minutes until steaming hot.
3. Add the butter
   Stir in butter chunks until mostly melted and glossy.
4. Add the noodles
   Press dry noodles gently into the broth so they’re mostly submerged.
5. Cook the noodles
   Cover and cook on HIGH for 20–30 minutes, stirring gently every 8–10 minutes. Avoid over‑stirring to prevent breakage.
6. Finish & serve
   When noodles are tender and coated in buttery sauce, switch to WARM. If too brothy, leave lid off for 5–10 minutes to thicken.
   Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with freshly ground black pepper.

✨ Simple, rich, and comforting—these butter noodles are proof that the easiest recipes often become the most beloved.
