Beef and Noodle Bake

 I found a recipe on Pinterest for this interesting casserole dish, I had looked up the ingredients but when it came time to prepare the dish, the link I had pinned no longer worked. So, instead I prepared the dish how I would have thought it to be prepped. This was very easy to make and pretty delicious. As Nick put it, the flavors are unique but in a good way. Just a different taste than the dishes we usually prepare. It was a nice change of pace. 

Ingredients:

1 (8oz) package wide egg noodles

1 onion, chopped

1 Tbsp garlic, minced

1 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp oil

1 pound lean ground beef

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp garlic salt

1 cup tomato sauce

1 cup cottage cheese

1 cup sour cream 

1 cup green onions, chopped

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

1. Prepare noodles by cooking according to package directions. Rinse in cold water and drain.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. While the noodles are cooking, saute the onions and garlic in the butter and oil in a saute pan. Once onions are translucent, add ground beef.  Brown meat; add salt, pepper, garlic salt and tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. 

4. Combine cottage cheese, sour cream, green onions, peas, meat sauce and noodles. Place in a casserole dish and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

5. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot, enjoy!
