Description

A comforting layered casserole featuring seasoned ground beef, tender egg noodles, tangy sour cream, cottage cheese, and melty cheddar cheese. This rich and creamy sour cream noodle bake is perfect for family dinners and offers a delicious, hearty meal that combines savory beef with creamy dairy and pasta.

Ingredients

Meat and Protein

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Pasta

  • 8 oz egg noodles

Dairy

  • 1 cup sour cream

Other Ingredients

  • 1½ cups tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Prepare beef sauce: Stir the tomato sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the browned ground beef, mixing well to combine the flavors.
  5. Mix creamy layer: In a bowl, combine the sour cream and cottage cheese, mixing until smooth and evenly blended.
  6. Layer the casserole: In a baking dish, start with a layer of noodles, then spread a layer of the sour cream and cottage cheese mixture, followed by a layer of the beef tomato sauce, and then sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Repeat layers: Repeat the layering process with noodles, sour cream mixture, beef sauce, and cheese, finishing with a top layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  9. Rest before serving: Allow the casserole to sit for 5 to 10 minutes after baking to set up, which makes it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

  • Let sit 5–10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
  • Substitute ricotta cheese for cottage cheese if preferred.
  • Add mushrooms or spinach to the layers for extra vegetables and nutrition.
