Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 package (12 oz) wide egg noodles
3/4 cup sour cream
1 container (16 oz) cottage cheese ((equals 2 cups))
2 cups shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish and spray with cooking spray.
  • Cook the ground beef in a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add the tomato sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the meat. Stir and let it simmer, over medium heat, while the egg noodles cook.
  • Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Don't forget to add at least 1 teaspoon of salt in with the noodles. * I usually add about 2 teaspoons of kosher salt.
  • In large mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream and cottage cheese.
  • When noodles are done cooking, drain the noodles, but do not rinse. Add the noodles into the mixing bowl with the cottage cheese and stir to coat all the noodles.
  • Pour half the egg noodle mixture into your prepared pan, top with half the ground beef mixture, and then half the shredded cheese. Repeat.
  • Cover with foil and cook for 20 minutes.* If you want those crunchy casserole edges and noodle edges then don't cover with tin foil.
