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.

Hi, your video show butter added, but I don’t see it in the printed recipe.
Omg I did not add butter to the recipe notes! Thank you for telling me!! Its 1 stick of butter melted. Happy Cooking and grateful for your comment!!! With Gratitude Jason
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.
Sorry about that! Grateful for your comment and Happy Cooking!
My mistake about the noodles. All good :) Shana Tova!
