Description

A cozy and hearty casserole made with egg noodles, savory ground beef, tangy tomato sauce, and a creamy mixture of sour cream and cottage cheese, topped with melty cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

8 oz wide egg noodles

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

1 cup sour cream

1 cup small-curd cottage cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika; cook for another minute.
  5. Stir in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer on low for 5 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream, cottage cheese, and green onions until well combined.
  7. Layer half of the cooked noodles in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the noodles.
  9. Top with the remaining noodles.
  10. Pour the beef and tomato sauce mixture over the noodles evenly.
  11. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  12. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted.
  13. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

Cook noodles just until al dente to prevent mushiness after baking.

Can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.

Try adding mozzarella with the cheddar for extra cheesiness.

Mix in red pepper flakes or jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Sautéed mushrooms or spinach can be added for more veggies.

Ricotta or Greek yogurt can replace cottage cheese.

Freezer-friendly: cool completely before freezing and wrap tightly.
