BEEF NOODLE BAKE (OVEN OR CROCK POT)
This flavorful casserole is a winner for potlucks or just a family meal. I often assemble it earlier in the day and refrigerate. After a late afternoon dance class or basketball or soccer practice, I just pop it in the oven when I get home, make a salad or other veggie to go with it, and dinner's on the table in less than an hour. It's also good with a bit of Italian seasoning mixed in... I recently tried this in the crock pot and it worked quite well. To make it in the crock pot, cook the noodles just until they are ALMOST done so that they don't get too mushy before continuing with the recipe and instead of placing it in a baking dish, spoon the meat/noodle mixture in a 4 qt. crock pot - you can just mix the noodles and the meat sauce all together or layer them as in the recipe. Top with cheese and cook on low for 4 hours. The crock pot I used is one of the newer nesting crocks that come with 3 separate bowls and it tends to cook hotter than my older one, so I cooked it on low for approx. 4 hours on the 2 qt. setting (even though I was using the 4 qt. pot).

Steps:
- Peel potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch (2 ½ cm) slices and boil them in salted water for 25 minutes or until they are tender.
- After boiling, take them out and let them cool for 10 minutes, allowing them to steam to remove excess moisture.
- Mash potatoes until no lumps remain.
- Add eggs, salt, nutmeg, and 2 cups (250 grams) flour, and knead into a dough. If dough is too sticky, add more flour until it holds its shape but is still smooth.
- Put a piece of dough on a floured surface and roll into a 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick log.
- Cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces and roll them carefully in your floured palm for a noodle shape. Repeat with the remainder of the dough.
- Boil noodles in a large pot with salted water. Stir carefully once or twice to make sure noodles don't stick to bottom of the pan. Once they float on the surface, they are cooked and ready to be taken out.
- In a medium-sized pan, melt the butter.
- Add noodles and bacon and fry until both are golden brown on all sides.
- Add chicken broth and white wine and let reduce for a few minutes until sauce becomes slightly creamy.
- Top with green onions before serving.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right noodles: This recipe works best with egg noodles, as they are able to hold their shape and texture during the baking process. Other types of noodles, such as spaghetti or linguine, may become too soft or mushy.
- Cook the noodles al dente: When boiling the noodles, be sure to cook them al dente, or slightly undercooked. This will prevent them from becoming too soft and mushy in the baking dish.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to use any type of vegetables that you like in this recipe. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Be sure to leave some space between the noodles and vegetables in the baking dish. This will allow the air to circulate and help the dish to cook evenly.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese that you use can make a big difference in the flavor of this dish. Be sure to use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
- Bake until bubbly and golden brown: Bake the noodle bake until it is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown. This will ensure that the dish is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
German Noodle Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover noodles and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you make it in the oven or the crock pot, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
