This is a recipe I serve each year for my holiday open house because everyone looks for it. Store-bought noodles can be substituted, but I prefer homemade noodles...and so does everyone else.

German Noodle Bake Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + standing Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

45 30 75

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 quarts water
CHEESE SAUCE:
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1-1/2 cups milk
8 ounces Swiss cheese, diced
2 eggs, well beaten

Directions

In a small bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center; add eggs. Stir together, forming a dough.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead for 5-6 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Dust both sides of dough with flour; roll up, jelly-roll style. Cut into 1/4-in. slices. Unroll noodles on paper towels; let dry for up to 2 hours.
In a Dutch oven, bring water to a rapid boil. Add noodles; cook for 7-9 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese until melted. Stir in eggs.
Drain noodles; transfer to a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Top with cheese sauce. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly. Yield: 8 servings.

Great recipe! Instead of making homemade noodles I used 2 cups of uncooked ziti pasta. I also switched swiss cheese for cheddar. I found this recipe to be a lot like mac and cheese but for some reason tasted better. When it came to the step to bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, I sprinkled the top with about 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs and some extra paprika. Nice compliment to chicken. Will make again!
