HOW TO MAKE BEEF AND NOODLE CASSEROLE
Begin by browning the ground beef in a skillet. Be sure to drain any excess grease once it’s cooked through. Add in diced green pepper, diced onion and salt and pepper.
Stir for 2-3 minutes and then add in a can of tomato sauce.
While the sauce is cooking, boil the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain once finished cooking.
In a bowl, mix together sour cream, cottage cheese and ground black pepper.
Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick spray. Layer half of the egg noodles, sauce mixture, cottage cheese mixture and 1 cup shredded cheese. Repeat the layers and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
TIPS FOR BEEF AND NOODLE CASSEROLE
- I used light sour cream and low-fat cottage cheese for this recipe but it works fine with regular.
- Feel free to use your favorite “melty” cheese. I love using a cheddar mix.
- If you have picky kids feel free to omit the onion or dice the onion and pepper very small.
