GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLES

Steps:

• The chicken can be whole pieces or bite sized whatever you prefer. I like to cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces.
• In a large soup pot boil chicken in water or chicken broth. Add garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
• While chicken is boiling combine flour, salt and eggs into a large mixing bowl. Start with a 1/4 cup of milk and add more milk or flour to get a pie crust type consistency.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface as thin as you like remembering that the noodles will probably double in thickness when cooking (Thinner the better in my mind). Cut the noodles with a pizza or noodle cutter. I typically cut them into 1/2 inch by 5 inch pieces.
• If the chicken is finished cooking then add the noodles into the boiling broth and cook until done. (If they are not finished you will see a white center, the noodles turn yellow when cooked) Takes about 5 minutes to cook at the thickness that I roll the noodles.
• Add the worcestershire sauce and butter.
• Serve in a bowl or plate depending on if you want lots of broth or not and I recommend sprinkling parmesean cheese over the top when finished.

• Drop into hot soup--cook for about 10 minutes.

HOMEMADE NOODLES

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks with the whole egg until very light.
• Beat in the salt and water.
• Stir in the flour and work with hands until blended.
• Divide dough into 2 parts.
• Roll out each part as thin as possible on a lightly floured board.
• Let stand until partially dry (like chamois skin), at least 1 hour, then roll up like a jelly roll and cut into strips of any desired width.
• Shake out strips and allow them to finish drying before using or storing them.

GRANNY'S CHILI (WITH NOODLES)

Steps:

• In a large pot or dutch oven, cook ground chuck. Then, saute onion in the fat.
• In a separate pot, boil macaroni according to instructions on box.
• Once the onion and ground chuck are cooked, add the cans of Varallo chili, tomato juice, spices, and water. (Here's a tip, just fill both cans 2/3rds of the way up with water -- that should be plenty)
• After the macaroni is cooked, dump in into the big pot with the chili and simmer and reduce for around 30 minutes.
• Enjoy!

GRANNY'S HOMEMADE NOODLES

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and water together in a bowl. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into a separate large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the beaten eggs into the well, then stir in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms.
• Roll the dough into a very thin layer on a lightly-floured surface; cut into 1/2 inch strips. Allow to dry at least 4 hours before using.
