Amish Style Beef and Noodles
For a lot of people, Amish style cooking conjures up warm kitchens, fresh home grown ingredients, slow cooked dinners, fresh baked pastry, and good old fashioned kitchen cooking. These Amish Style Beef and Noodles are a tribute to that style cooking. Amish diets are not necessarily low fat, but  really epitomize cooking and eating fresh.Â
Amish Style Beef and Noodles. As a long time Ohio resident, one of my favorite destinations is the Amish country in and around Charm, Ohio. Beautiful rolling hills,well kept farms, nostalgic little shops and restaurants with great home made food. One of our families favorite spots was the Chalet in the Valley restaurant in Millersburg, Ohio. The food was great, and after dinner you could walk across the street to visit the cheese shop. There you could great cheeses, meats, clocks, and other home made Amish delights. On one visit for lunch the special was a family style beef and noodles that was absolutely wonderful and I remember it fondly. So here’s my take on a great dinner that’s easy to prepare and sure to delight.
