I see that I had misunderstood the “beyond” in “beyond bubbie.” I was worried about submitting this recipe, because it’s about as “bubbie” as you get, not “beyond” at all. This, in particular is a 50s bubbie recipe, with plenty of fat, brand name jars from the grocery store, sweet, filled with love and delicious. The bubbie I got it from actually wasn’t a bubbie at the time. She was my high school best friend, Seth’s (Shmuel’s) mother, Bette Globus.

1 lg pkg broad egg noodles (cooked til not mushy)
