A comforting casserole with layers of egg noodles, savory beef sauce, and creamy cheese—this sour cream noodle bake is a family favorite. Perfect for weeknight dinners or any occasion that calls for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the sauce mixture:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 15-ounce can tomato sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the noodle mixture:

  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 ½ cups small curd cottage cheese
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 ounces shredded Colby Jack cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking the beef into crumbles, until browned and the onion is softened (8-10 minutes).
  • Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the sauce simmers, cook and drain the egg noodles according to package directions.
  • In a large bowl, mix together cottage cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.
  • Add cooked noodles to the bowl and stir to coat them in the creamy mixture.
  • Layer half of the noodle mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the beef sauce, then half of the shredded cheese.
  • Repeat layers with the remaining noodles, sauce, and cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dish is warmed through and the cheese has melted.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy

Notes

  • Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier taste.
  • Try different cheese varieties like mozzarella or cheddar for a unique flavor.
