Amish Meatball Noodles is a comforting, hearty dish often served in Amish kitchens—tender meatballs simmered in a rich broth and served over soft Egg noodles. 🍲
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
Meatballs
- 1 lb Ground beef
- ½ cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Milk
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
Broth & Noodles
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Egg noodles
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Optional: 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Make the meatballs
In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, milk, salt, and pepper.
Shape into small meatballs (about 1 inch).
2. Simmer the meatballs
Bring beef broth and chicken broth to a gentle boil in a large pot.
Add the meatballs and simmer 15–20 minutes, until cooked through.
3. Cook the noodles
Add egg noodles directly to the broth with the meatballs.
Cook 8–10 minutes until noodles are tender.
4. Finish the dish
Stir in butter for richness and sprinkle with parsley if desired.
5. Serve
Ladle meatballs, noodles, and broth into bowls and enjoy warm.
✅ Tips
- For a creamier version, stir in ½ cup of heavy cream at the end.
- Some Amish cooks add a little mashed potatoes or flour slurry to thicken the broth.
If you want, I can also give you a true Amish-style version with homemade egg noodles (much richer and more authentic). 🍜
