Hot German Buttered Noodles
If you've ever been to the Bavarian inn in Frankenmuth MI, this is what they use on top of their hot buttered noodles (crushed Ritz buttery crackers). I can taste them just writing this. Yum Yum. I use Maggi brand chicken bouillon cubes in the box of eight. You can usually find them in the Mexican section of your supermarket. They are extra large, really soft and dissolve easily. Do not add salt to this recipe; the bouillon is loaded with it, and most people use salted butter, so you should be covered there. Use more butter if you like; 6 ozs seems just right for me. Enjoy

My Go-To Comfort Food: Hot German Buttered Noodles
There's something undeniably comforting about a steaming bowl of perfectly cooked noodles, especially when they're drenched in a rich, buttery sauce. For years, I've been making my own version of Hot German Buttered Noodles, a recipe inspired by a Bavarian inn I visited years ago. It's simple, yet the flavors are incredibly satisfying. The creamy, savory sauce coats the noodles beautifully, and the crunchy Ritz crackers on top provide a delightful textural contrast. It's a dish that always brings a smile to my face, a reminder of happy times and delicious food.
The secret to truly amazing Hot German Buttered Noodles lies in the details. The Maggi brand chicken bouillon cubes are key – their intense flavor adds depth and richness without needing any additional salt. I've experimented with other bouillon cubes, but none quite compare to the smooth, easily dissolvable nature of Maggi. I also use salted butter to avoid over salting the recipe. The amount of butter is adaptable, of course. Sometimes, I add a bit more for extra richness. However, 6 ounces is my sweet spot. The freshly chopped parsley adds a bright, herbaceous note that balances the richness of the butter and bouillon.
The preparation is straightforward, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The noodles cook quickly, and the sauce comes together in just a few minutes in the microwave. But the best part? The incredible aroma that fills your kitchen while it simmers on the stove. It's the scent of comfort and happiness, guaranteed to draw everyone to the table.
