Description

An easy baked pasta dish featuring ground beef, egg noodles, and three types of cheese in a rich tomato sauce that requires no pre-boiling of the noodles.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 6 oz wide egg noodles (uncooked)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350° F. Spray a square baking dish with non-stick spray (a 8×8 or 9×9 inch dish both work).
  2. Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onions. Brown for 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic, Worcestershire, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and then turn off heat and set aside. 
  3. In a small bowl whisk together the sour cream, cream cheese and cottage cheese until mostly smooth. Stir in the dry noodles until coated. 
  4. Spread half the noodle mixture in the baking dish, spoon half of the meat sauce over the noodles, sprinkle with ¾ cup cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese.
  5. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 60 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10-15 more minutes until noodles are tender and the top is bubbly. 
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Double this and bake in a 9×13 inch pan to serve 8 people.
