A finishing touch of sour cream adds a gentle tang and extra creaminess, making every bite warm and comforting.

Perfect as a side dish or a simple meatless main course, this recipe requires minimal preparation and lets the slow cooker do most of the work.

## Recipe Overview

* **Servings:** 6

## Ingredients

* 12 ounces egg noodles

* 4 cups chicken broth

* 4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

* 1 teaspoon garlic powder

* ½ teaspoon onion powder

* ½ teaspoon black pepper

* 1 cup sour cream

* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

## What Each Ingredient Does

* **Egg noodles:** Provide the hearty texture that makes this dish so comforting.

* **Black pepper:** Adds mild warmth and balances the creaminess.

* **Sour cream:** Creates the signature tangy, creamy sauce.

## Instructions

1. Add the chicken broth, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the slow cooker.

## Storage

* **Refrigerator:** Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

* **Reheating:** Warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or milk if needed to restore creaminess.

* **Freezing:** Not recommended, as sour cream sauces can separate when thawed.

The result is a simple, comforting dish with a creamy texture, buttery richness, and just enough t

ang from the sour cream to keep every bite balanced and satisfying.
