This recipe has gotten rave reviews. It first ran on Amish365 website about 10 years ago and received a lot of 5-star reviews from readers (back when we had a recipe rating system in place) I don't think it's run since and those old, old, old posts are even available anymore, unfortunately. But this recipe comes to us from an Amish woman outside Bremen, Indiana. It's an amazingly hearty, heaping casserole that feeds a lot of hungry people. Give it a try!

The original recipe calls for "heavy noodles" which would be a thicker noodle, but, we've had readers try it with square noodles, light angel hair type noodles, any type of noodle works well with this recipe.

Hi Kevin,
I've been a reader of your site for a few months now - really enjoy! Last week I was on a bus tour through Pennsylvania where we stopped at a nice town called 'Intercourse'. We ate a great restaurant called 'A Bird in a Hand'. Everything was delicious and homemade causing me to make myself miserable for eating so much! I'm from Indiana but would consider traveling back to this restaurant just for the wonderful food.

Yum, thanks for the restaurant recommendation, I'll remember that next time I am out there! Where in IND are you located? (and, yes, I have heard of the name Ernestine, it's been years and years, though...I think when I was a kid I have a vague memory of knowing someone or knowing of someone with that name)
