Amish recipes are some of the best. They’re wholesome, easy to make and fill up your belly. The Amish are known for their resourcefulness and ability to save money, so these recipes won’t break the bank. These aren’t the recipes that require you to run to three different specialty stores in hopes of finding the right ingredients. Instead, Amish recipes use what you have on hand, and they’re delicious.

Several of these recipes are great for potlucks or family gatherings. Amish families do tend to be larger, so they have to feed many people. Bring one of these to your next family holiday party, and people will go crazy!

This stew is similar to a chili with kidney beans and chili powder. Yet, it also has plenty of cabbage in it. It’s a lovely mixture, kind of like chili cabbage rolls.

You may have to take some time to make these, but it’s worth it. You need two types of flour to achieve the perfect texture. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can add baking powder and salt to get the same effect. The pretzels are so flavorful, perfect with a side of melted cheese or all on their own.

This soup is hearty and filling, perfect after a long day of work. Remember that the Amish typically spend most of their days working on the land, so they need filling meals. Friendship Soup, with beans and ground beef, is the perfect solution. We also like that you can make a jar of the dried ingredients and give it as a gift. That’s a great idea for someone who likes practical gifts! Check out the recipe and instructions by Recipe Lion.

Ham & Noodle Stove Top Casserole

Yum! Wait until you give this recipe by Genius Kitchen a try. It’s full of flavor and cheese. Cheese makes everything better, right? It doesn’t use any crazy ingredients. You could use deli ham if you don’t have cubed at home with you. No use in making a second trip to the store! The extra- sharp cheddar cheese is a must though. We don’t recommend subbing out that.  

Amish Egg Noodles

Without a doubt, the Amish are most famous for their noodles. They’re the perfect texture and thickness. You can buy dried Amish noodles in the store, but there is nothing like the fresh ones. This recipe by Buns in My Oven shows you exactly how they’re made. You can serve this as a meal all on its own; no one will complain! The other option is to serve it as a side dish!
