Nudel<\/strong>auflauf<\/em> = Noodle<\/strong> Casserole<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a great base to any casserole.\u00a0 \"\"By itself it is a basic casserole that even my 3 year old loved. (Which is impressive because he often will not eat noodles or meat) Our child is both Lactose & Gluten intolerant… Which means we used an alternative noodle, alternative milk and alternative bread crumbs. I won’t mention these in the actual recipe, but if you are in a similar boat as we are, I recommend this brand of noodles! They hold up very well in casserole cooking!<\/p>\n

Based on the handwriting in this ‘cookbook’ she created, I don’t think Grandma was that old when she made this recipe.\u00a0 It could have been basic instructions on the starting point of a noodle-based casserole. As with many of the recipes in this handmade recipe “book” of hers, there is no cooking instructions.\u00a0 I’m really starting to think that while in Germany, when she was learning to cook, they did not have an oven that you set a particular temperature as easily as you would now?<\/p>\n

Easy additions to this casserole would be carrots, peas, corn, and topped with a dose of cheese<\/strong><\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As it was, we liked it!\u00a0 Simple and basic, and really not complicated at all.\u00a0 I added extra bread crumbs, maybe 1\/2 cup, not 1 TBSP.\u00a0 Keep this in mind if you’d like to coat the top of your casserole.<\/p>\n

It may not be the best balanced meal – but it is preschooler approved. It was Gobbled Up!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is Grandma’s handwritten recipe (which offers no cooking instructions, haha!):<\/p>\n
