This is a typical side dish for Shabbat dinner on Friday nights, which includes roasted chicken. It need not be served with simply chicken, but as my mother once remarked, when she was young, chicken and noodles were more reasonably priced than other meals. This is a fantastic side dish for any steak.

I made this without substitution for dinner last night. Turned out wonderfully and looked amazing as well. So thank you to the poster. As another noted it is a good template. You can modify per taste or on the basis of what may be present in the pantry etc. I had done that previously with this recipe using ricotta that was needing to be used, reducing the onion some and adding a little garlic. Turned out great as well.
Bland… I was wishing for some gravy or salsa or sauce for it ~~~ certainly a good starch option, but not raving about it or worried that someone will eat up the leftovers on me.
Good recipe. I suggest reducing the amount of onion to 1-2 onions max or skip all together. I just thought that this much sautéed onion overpowers the dish making it sweet instead of salty as it is supposed to be. Also skip the paprika. That really doesn’t present it right.
This was pretty tasty, but I didn’t put enough salt and pepper in it. Next time I’ll try about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Also, it was just a bit dry. I think it needs a little liquid, maybe a little broth or cream. I will definitely try again!
I made some helpful, healthy changes. I used whole wheat noodles, used 8 egg whites,I added some seasoned salt and omitted the breadcrumbs. The most important thing I did was COVER the baking dish! It kept it all soft instead of making the tops all hard and inedible. My 5 year olds loved it as well as my baby 🙂
After reading the reviews of being dry – i added 1/2 cup of Kosher Chicken Broth to the onions then mixed everything together in the bowl. I was also liberal with the salt/pepper and only used 3 onions. But it turned out moist. Good non-dairy Kugel.
I thought it was a little dry, but some family members loved it. I would make again but try to figure out how to give it a little more moisture.
I found this dish to be excellent and serves as a great basis for a kugel. Every Jewish family makes it differently ex. dairy, no dairy, sweet or savory, raisins no raisins, etc. I reduced to 1 onion and added 1 pint (2 cups)of cottage cheese, 1 cup sour cream and no bread crumbs (VIEW MY PHOTO). Depending on your dietary guidlines or preference, the recipe is very flexible. I also serve this with a roast chicken or beef brisket. Thank you Goldie for the recipe!!
We made it with fewer onions and in a smaller dish, was tasty.
The recipe should have called for sour creme or something to take away from the dryness.
I was disappointed in this. It was too dry, and in spite of all the onion, I thought it lacked flavor.
