Cheesy Noodle Bake

6 oz egg noodles, cooked and drained (I used what was in my panty, curly noodles)
8 oz lean ground beef, cooked and drained
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cottage cheese
3 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
(or you can use one 26 oz can of spaghetti sauce and then omit the shirley J seasoning)
1 1/2 T Shirley J Pizza and Pasta Seasoning

Mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, and cottage cheese in one bowl. In another bowl mix the cooked ground beef and tomato sauce and shirley J seasoning. In a 3-quart slow cooker, place a little bit of the sauce on the bottom. Then layer noodles, cream cheese mixture, and meat sauce two times. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

Review:
This is a little like a lasagna-type dish without all the work. I usually buy my spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce at case-lot sales. I've run out of spaghetti sauce but I still have plenty of tomato sauce. No worries, to make a yummy sauce all you have to do is add 1 tablespoon of the Shirley J pizza and pasta seasoning mix to a can of tomato sauce and voila you have a marinara. This was an easy dish and is a family favorite. 4 stars

How much cottage cheese? Not in the ingredient list, but is in the directions.

Oops, sorry. I changed it. It is supposed to be 1/2 cup cottage cheese. I used low fat cottage cheese, sour cream and cream cheese and it worked great. Enjoy!

So what do you do on all of these recipes if you can't get shirley j seasoning? I'm getting discouraged! We don't have it here....

Karen said...
