Pour canned sausage gravy and these 2 ingredients over uncooked egg noodles into a casserole dish for a meal you’ll crave over and over

This cozy oven-baked Amish-style gravy noodle casserole is the kind of no-fuss comfort food I lean on during busy weeks. Everything comes together in one casserole dish by pouring canned sausage gravy and just two more simple ingredients over uncooked egg noodles. It bakes up into a creamy, stick-to-your-ribs meal that tastes like something Grandma might have made on a chilly Midwestern evening, but with modern shortcuts that make it weeknight-friendly.

Serve these Amish country gravy noodles hot, straight from the casserole dish, with a simple green side to balance the richness—steamed green beans, a tossed salad, or roasted broccoli all work well. Warm dinner rolls, biscuits, or buttered bread are great for soaking up the extra gravy. If you want to stretch the meal for a crowd, add a side of applesauce or sliced fresh fruit to keep things light and kid-friendly.

Servings: 6

12 oz uncooked wide egg noodles

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or a thin coating of butter.

Spread the uncooked egg noodles evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Try to keep them in a fairly even layer so they cook through evenly.

In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the canned sausage gravy and chicken broth until smooth and pourable. It should be thin enough to easily coat and seep down around the noodles.

Pour the sausage gravy mixture evenly over the uncooked egg noodles in the casserole dish, making sure to cover as much of the noodles as possible. Gently press down any noodles that are sticking up so they’re mostly submerged in the gravy mixture.

Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese for later in baking.

Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil. This traps steam and helps the noodles cook through in the gravy without drying out.

Bake the covered casserole in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, until the noodles are tender when you poke a fork down into the center. If the noodles still feel firm, re-cover and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, checking again.
