Nebraska peeps...got a question.

[TigerBait1971]

My grandma was born and raised in Nebraska. Every Thanksgiving she makes these homemade noodles that cook in chicken broth that she serves on top of mashed potatoes. Is this a Nebraska thing?

I have been enjoying that shit for years, but nobody in Louisiana has ever heard of it.

Ive seen it.. dunno if its a nebraska thang tho

Never ate it myself but sounds good. Looking around I see stuff about it from Indiana.

I thought everybody ate homemade noodles together with gravy and mashed potatoes. It was a holiday tradition on the Indiana farm of my childhood.
After marriage to my Texas-born-and-raised husband, I was dismayed to discover he didn’t like the sound of it. Together? On top of each other??

It is made in eastern Nebraska, and is some excellent grub

Grew up eating it in Illinois. It is more of a country cooking thing than any particular state. My kids loved homemade chicken & noodles over mashed potatoes. The wife and I have it less than I'd like these days.

Cool. Thanks for the replies. It sounds weird, but it's soooo good.

 

[Tomhusker]

Sometimes we change it up a little and put it over Baked potatoes.

My mom made it a few times, but never for holidays. I don't know that it's a Nebraska thing.

It is good stuff. I wish I had a plate of that right now.

It is an old lady thing, my grandma used to make as well from IL.

I remember her rolling the noodle dough out on table during afternoon, yummy stuff.

that comes from the eastern european countries - what country in particular it started in I have no idea. people who settled in the midwest were mostly from those places because they were used to this cold-ass shit we go through every year. most of those foods were made from scratch, including some of the odd casseroles you'll see only in the midwest too, and it's been passed down for a couple hundred years now.

I bet she also makes them same noodles with either a beef based or chicken based soup too, doesn't she?

I don't even want to think about food right now...just had my grandma's thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, taters, dressing, gravy, and like 6 different kinds of casseroles. I can't move.

 

[iruletheskool]

[oaknightshockey1]

[herky]

This is sooooo true. My Grandma used to make them homemade noodles and my how I missed 'em when grandma past, but I found a country raised gal who makes 'em for me now....

It is awesome stuffins for me gullet

 

[Papalou]

yep my granny used to make it with beef and gravy sometimes too. I dont know who come up with the idea but they were genius

 

[popeyecv64]

the first question came to my mind

does granny root fer the Huskers

or the Tigers ??

and yes homemade noddles in gravy over home made taters is served in my household frequently

and some of the times moma adds chicken ta boot

 

[tometom]

my grandma does that as well. she's originally from Oklahoma. Never bothered asking her who taught her to do that. Just assumed it was some depression era thing, as I'm sure chicken broth and noodles and potatoes was all they had.
