Lasagna Noodle Casserole
Description
This casserole begins by browning ground beef with chopped onions and draining excess fat. It is then seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic salt before incorporating spaghetti sauce for a flavorful meat sauce. Cooked egg noodles are combined separately with cottage cheese and sour cream to add creaminess throughout the dish.
The casserole is built by layering half of the noodles, meat sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese, then repeating these layers. Baking at 350 degrees for 30 minutes melts the cheese and heats the dish through, while an optional broil step provides a golden, lightly browned cheese top.
The resulting dish combines the robust flavor of ground beef and tomato sauce with the creamy tang of dairy cheeses and the tender egg noodles, making it a comforting meal suitable for family dinners. It serves eight portions, with each slice encompassing all components evenly.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles (cooked according to package directions)
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1/4 cup onion chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 24 ounces spaghetti sauce
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion together. Drain the fat.
- Add the spices and spaghetti sauce. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cooked noodles, sour cream and cottage cheese.
- Spray a 2 quart casserole with cooking spray. Layer 1/2 the noodles, 1/2 the meat sauce and 1/2 the mozzarella in the prepared dish. Repeat the layers.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until the casserole is baked through and browned.
- If you'd like the top to be a little extra golden brown, place the casserole under the broiler on low for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Watch it closely!
