Sweet, fluffy, and custard noodle kugel brings back all the warm comforting memories of holidays as a childhood! This is actually Pam Goldstein’s (my mom’s) recipe that she served as a crowned culinary jewel every holiday! Kugel is basically a sweet, juicy, and warming egg custard carby noodle casserole.
This recipe makes the whole apartment smell like fresh cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. I tried to look up what the definition of kugel meant but there is no clear definition. Then I thought, what does it mean to me. Kugel is the noodle thing at the center of every one of my holiday tables. It sits there as a representation of tradition, love, and faith in my family. I recently asked my mom for her recipe. It was of course hand written on a piece of paper that looked older then both of us. To my surprise the recipes was so easy. Of course I needed to tweek it slightly, to make it easy for my busy life. The answer was the slow cooker! Now I can just set it and forget it! I cant wait for you to try my family history!
Tips I Used to Make This Recipe Fit My Busy Life:
- The slow cooker is definitely not a traditional way to make this dish but it makes it sooo easy. Set it before work and come home to a house that smells like warm cinnamon pastries.
- No need to boil noodles. Just drop noodles in with the other ingredients. This saves 10 minutes watching the water boil and 10 minutes cooking the noodles.

Per your video, it’s 2 sticks of butter and one pound of noodles is a bit misleading. Yes, the bag says 16 ozs, but one pound of dry noodles is actually 8 cups and there aren’t 8 cups in a one pound bag. Good thing I watched the video a couple of times or I would have used too many noodles. Just prepping now. Hope it comes out as good as yours.

My mistake about the noodles. All good 🙂 Shana Tova!
