Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground beef
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/4 cups small curd cottage cheese
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet, drain fat, and stir in tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a bowl, mix sour cream, cottage cheese, red pepper flakes, and green onions.
  5. Combine noodles with the sour cream mixture and stir well.
  6. In a greased baking dish, layer half the noodle mixture, half the meat sauce, and half the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers.
  7. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.
  8. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a leaner option.
  • Freeze unbaked casserole for up to 3 months; bake directly from frozen at 375°F for about 45 minutes covered, then uncover to brown.
  • For a vegetarian version, swap meat for mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach.
