Dinners are hard at my house. I have to admit it’s kinda my fault too; I’m a really picky eater. Unfortunately, I’ve passed this lovely trait on to my eight year old as well. I’m glad that my hubby will eat just about anything I put in front of him, as will my one year old, so far. So finding something that everyone (or should I say my daughter and I) can agree on can be a little tricky. I think I got lucky with this one!
The end result of this recipe is very similar to what my mom calls “skillet lasagna”, which was a favorite of mine growing up. I found this casserole style recipe on Pinterest from the Pioneer Woman and tried it immediately! So glad that I did because it has become a favorite in my house! I usually serve this with a big tossed salad and chunk of crusty French bread.
**Update** Amanda tried this recipe and it was sooooooooooooo good! Both the kids ate well that night!
- 1 ¼ lb ground beef
- 1 15oz can tomato sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- Freshly ground black pepper (not a big fan, I skipped it)
- 8oz of egg noodles
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ¼ cup small curd cottage cheese
- ½ cup sliced green onion (more or less to taste)
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet, drain
- Stir in tomato sauce, salt and some pepper
- Reduce temperature and simmer while you prepare everything else
- Cook the noodles, drain and set aside
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream and cottage cheese. Add more pepper if you want
- Stir noodles and onions into cheese mixture
- Put half the noodle mixture into the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish
- Pour about half of the meat mixture on top of that, spreading it out so it covers the noodles
- Add about half of the grated cheese
- Repeat these layers
- Cover (leave uncovered if you want the cheese to be more crusty, my family likes it melty) and
- Bake for 20 minutes
Oooh! Yummy! Thank you!
