Sweet Noodle Kugel Recipe

Noodle Kugel or Noodle Pudding is a dish commonly served at Jewish holidays or events. I love making my sweet noodle kugel recipe each year for Hanukkah because it is so darn delicious. Plus, if I’m being honest, I enjoy the splurge of calories with all the yummy ingredients like noodles, sugar, butter and eggs that go into making it. If you can’t indulge like this over the holidays, when can you?!?!

Sweet Noodle Kugel

It’s the second night of Hanukkah and I’m making my sweet noodle kugel recipe along with some delicious potato latkes as my side dishes for dinner. I’m pretty much counting down the minutes until dinnertime, folks!

Unless you’re Jewish, I’m sure there’s a pretty big chance that you have never heard of noodle kugel. Let me give you a quick lesson about this easy and delicious side dish before I share the recipe with you below. It’s a must try for anyone and everyone!

Kugel, pronounced either koo-gull or kuh-gull, is somewhat similar to a noodle casserole. The preparation is basically the same. You cook some noodles in boiling water, stir together your wet ingredients in a bowl, and then combine the noodles with the wet ingredients before placing it all in a casserole dish and putting it in the oven to bake.

You won’t notice the main difference between noodle kugel and a noodle casserole until it cooks.  The consistency of the two is completely different. While a noodle casserole will still be a little wet and runny when cutting into it, noodle kugel is made of a custard filling that holds perfectly together.

Most noodle casseroles also tend to be savory. Noodle kugel can be made savory, but in our family, we go for the sweet variety instead. I’m not exactly sure why, but if I had to guess, it’s probably because there are more calories found in the sweet version.

My family is infamous for going towards the “least unhealthy route” when cooking…a blessing and a curse all at one time!

Sweet noodles might sound a little odd at first, but I promise that you’ll be in love with this dish after one single bite. The flavors of sugar and cinnamon will hit your tongue right away and you’ll be a Kugel Fan, forever. Trust me on this! Have I steered you wrong yet?

The preparation of this recipe is SUPER EASY! If you can boil water and stir ingredients together, you can make this side dish. It takes about 10 minutes to whip everything together and an additional 40 to 45 minutes to cook. You can even prep the noodle kugel ahead of time and cook it off later in the day when you’re ready for dinner.

So what do I need to make this Sweet Noodle Kugel Recipe?

12 oz. package of Wide Egg Noodles, 6 eggs, 16 oz. sour cream (try to stay away from Fat-Free), 16 oz. cottage cheese, ½ cup of raisins, ½ cup of sugar (additional to sprinkle on for the topping),1 teaspoon of Cinnamon (additional to sprinkle on for the topping), ¼ cup of melted butter

Made with egg noodles, sugar, butter, raisins, cinnamon a few more ingredients that will leave you begging for more! #noodlekugel #chanukah #hanukkah #lakelifestateofmind Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.

Spray a 9×13 casserole dish and put it aside.

Cook your egg noodles in a pot of boiling water for about 4 minutes. Note: This is less than the recommended cooking time on the package.

After 4 minutes, strain the noodles from the water.

Whether you’re Jewish or not, this recipe is a keeper and a must-try! My sweet noodle kugel recipe is so addicting you’ll still find yourself eating it WAY after you’re stomach tells you to stop. It’s just too hard to stop when something tastes this delicious.

    This reminds me somewhat of rice pudding–only with noodles. The ingredients are very similar. This looks delicious! I love trying at least 1 new dish around the holidays–and I’m going to make it your Noodle Kugel! Thank you–can’t wait to try it!

      Yes, it does have a similar taste to rice pudding actually. That would be a great comparison! I’d love to know what you think when you try it. It really is one of my family’s favorite! Thanks for your comment.

Today’s my 39th birthday and one of my requests was to get a family photo by the lake that met my standards with no complaining from the peanut gallery! I am happy to report my wish was granted but not without some funny business taking place in the process. Check out my stories for the “behind the scenes” of our little photo shoot. All I can say is I love these guys. Time to head out to dinner! Melting Pot anyone?!💓💓💓

Love this new sign we put up in the yard yesterday! I saw this definition for “home” online and it really spoke to me: “A home is any place where you are comfortable, and feel as if you can be yourself. A home is a place where you just feed off of positive energy and feel free. It does not matter whether your home is outside in nature or in a house, as long as your heart is there.” 🏡 
Besides my actual house that I live in, I found myself reflecting on other places I’ve experienced that would also constitute as home for me per this definition. Some of these places are my mom’s house, my old classrooms during my teaching days, and my tiny space on the internet that I share with you all. Besides the house you live in, where’s somewhere else you feel right at HOME at? I’d love to know!
