Ingredients
– 1 1/4 pounds ground chuck (ground beef can be used as an alternative for flavor)
– 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Freshly ground black pepper to taste
– 8 ounces egg noodles
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 1/4 cups small curd cottage cheese
– 1/2 cup sliced green onions (amount can be adjusted to taste)
– 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
1-2: Brown the 1 1/4 pounds of ground chuck in a large skillet, then drain the excess fat. Add the 15-ounce can of tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste, letting it simmer as you move on.
3: Cook the 8 ounces of egg noodles until al dente, then drain and set them aside for layering.
4-5: In a separate bowl, mix the 1/2 cup sour cream with 1 1/4 cups small curd cottage cheese, seasoning with black pepper and stirring in the 1/2 cup sliced green onions. Now, in your baking dish, layer half the noodles, half the meat sauce, and half the 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients for a hearty stack.
6-7: Bake the dish for about 20 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles. Let it cool a bit before serving warm, perhaps with some crusty bread for extra enjoyment.
