Sour Cream Noodle Bake

A comforting casserole featuring ground beef, egg noodles, and a creamy sour cream and cottage cheese mixture, layered and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Brown the ground chuck in a large skillet. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add tomato sauce, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the meat. Simmer while preparing noodles.
  4. Cook egg noodles until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix sour cream and cottage cheese together with freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Add the sour cream mixture to the noodles and stir to combine.
  7. Add sliced green onions to the noodle mixture and stir gently.
  8. In a baking dish, layer half of the noodle mixture, then top with the meat sauce, and finish with the remaining noodle mixture.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.

Notes

Some versions mix the noodles and meat sauce together before baking, but layering provides a nice texture contrast. Adjust green onions carefully as their flavor can be strong.
