These Buttered Noodles are positively addicting. Cooked in chicken broth and butter with a bouillon cube and garlic powder, they soak up so much delicious, salty flavor.
This recipe is fabulously quick and easy!
How to Make Buttered Noodles:
- Combine the chicken broth, water, bouillon cube and half a stick of butter in a large nonstick skillet and bring to a boil.
- Add the egg noodles and cook for 8 minutes.
- Add the garlic powder and remaining butter. Season to taste and serve!
The key to really getting flavorful noodles is to not use any water and to cook them in as little liquid as possible. So little liquid that it’s not even necessary to drain them.
In order to get them to cook evenly, you need to cook them in a large nonstick pan and stir frequently because they won’t be completely submerged in liquid.
These Buttered Noodles are on the salty side which is one of the things I find so appealing about them.
If you’re worried they will be too salty, use either low-sodium broth or a low-sodium bouillon cube.
Buttered Noodles make a super inexpensive side dish that is so delicious everyone will want to eat it as a main dish.
They have plenty of flavor as is, but if you want to, sprinkle them with a little chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

My kids love these noodles!
Awesome side dish, thank you!
Incredible side dish, goes great with many meals. I am pairing with a crack chicken recipe I found. Very straightforward and easy recipe for great taste, highly recommend.
My daughters and I are obsessed with this. I add some deli meat and frozen vegetables and call it a meal. It’s not healthy…but it’s delicious.
I made these tonight using salt -free butter, salt-free chicken bouillon, and low sodium chicken broth. I also added some finely diced onion. I added the butter after the noodles were cooked. It seemed to make the sauce creamier. Final additions were black pepper and Brendachopped chives, since I don’t care for parsley. This is a keeper!
I’ve taken the lazy way out for years by making the convenient package buttered noodles. I saw this recipe and decided to give it a try. It was simple and delicious! I used Better Than Bullion because I didn’t have any bullion cubes. Needless to say, it was a HUGE hit with the family. No more package noodles in this household!
Made these with beef stroganoff yummo!
