Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large sweet onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 eight ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/2 pound curly egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I like the Cabot brand!)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 2 quart casserole with cooking spray.
  • Sauté beef, onions and garlic in large skillet over medium-high heat until the meat is cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, cottage cheese and cream cheese and cook another 2-3 minutes until fully combined. It’s okay if the cream cheese isn’t fully melted…a few chunks are good!
  • Add cooked noodles and pepper to the skillet, stir to combine and pour the whole mixture into the prepared casserole. Sprinkle cheddar evenly on top.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes until bubbling and a little browned. Cool for about 5 minutes and serve!
