Sour Cream Hamburger Noodle Bake
Ingredients
1 pound egg noodles
2 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups tomato sauce
2 cups cottage cheese, creamed (I blended it with my hand blender.)
2 cups sour cream
2 cups green onions, chopped
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 350*F.
2. Bring large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Cook pasta 2 minutes less than directed on packaging. Drain well.
3. Brown meat in Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain if necessary and return to pot. Add salt, pepper, garlic salt, and tomato sauce. Simmer 5 minutes. Stir in cottage cheese, sour cream, green onions, and pasta. Top with cheese.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and casserole is heated through.
Comments
This recipe is from allrecipes.com. It’s sort of like homemade Hamburger Helper and it’s pretty much delicious. The sour cream and cottage cheese add a nice tanginess and, even if you don’t like cottage cheese (which we don’t), it’s fantastic. We devoured this both at dinner and for leftover lunches the following days. I used lower fat varieties of cottage cheese, sour cream, and cheese - all worked well.
This is probably more of a winter food than a summer food, but it’s a delicious, filling, and warming meal any time of year.
P.S. Do you like my new pretty red bowls? We finally (after 14 years) broke enough of the old ones that I had to buy a few new ones!
