Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Meanwhile, combine eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the noodles and onion. Pour noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until noodles are golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

SALT AND PEPPER KUGEL
This is my mom's recipe for a traditional Eastern European nonsweet kugel - or "kigel" which is how my her side of the family pronounced it. (I didn't know kugels could be sweet until I was a teen.) It's easy comfort food.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Put in greased or Pam'd 13 inch square pan.
- Bake about 1 hour or until set.
Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, Russet, and sweet potatoes all work well in this dish. You can also use a combination of different types of potatoes.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
- Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to the potatoes. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and Parmesan cheese are all good choices.
- Bake the kugel until it's golden brown: The kugel should be baked until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that it's cooked through and has a crispy crust.
Conclusion:
Salt and pepper kugel is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a perfect dish for a holiday meal, a potluck, or a simple weeknight dinner.
