Pour canned cream of corn soup and these 2 ingredients over egg noodles into a baking dish for a meal that brings everyone back to the table
This Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Amish Creamy Corn Noodles recipe transforms a handful of simple ingredients into a rich, comforting side dish. Cream-style corn creates a naturally creamy sauce while helping the egg noodles soften as they bake. Combined with milk and butter, the noodles become tender and coated in a smooth, velvety sauce with very little hands-on effort.
Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Amish Creamy Corn Noodles
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Wide egg noodles (uncooked) | 8 oz |
| Cream-style corn | 2 cans (14.75 oz each) |
| Whole milk | 1 1/2 cups |
| Salted butter, cut into pieces | 2 tablespoons |
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Arrange the Noodles
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread the uncooked egg noodles into an even layer.
Tip: Distributing the noodles evenly helps every piece absorb enough liquid during baking, resulting in uniformly tender noodles.
Step 2: Combine the Liquid Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the cream-style corn and whole milk until well blended. Pour the mixture evenly over the noodles, pressing down any exposed noodles so they are covered with the liquid.
Step 3: Bake Covered
Scatter the butter pieces across the top of the casserole. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35–40 minutes.
Tip: Keeping the dish tightly covered traps steam inside, allowing the uncooked noodles to absorb moisture and cook evenly without drying out.
Step 4: Finish the Sauce
Remove the foil and gently stir the noodles. If the sauce is still thinner than you’d like, return the dish to the oven uncovered for an additional 5–10 minutes until it thickens.
Visual Cue: The casserole is ready when the sauce becomes rich, creamy, and thick enough to coat the noodles evenly.
Step 5: Rest Before Serving
Let the casserole stand for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Tip: Allowing the dish to rest gives the sauce time to thicken slightly, helping it cling to the noodles for the best texture and flavor.
