Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz. small curd cottage cheese
  • 12 oz. uncooked egg noodles
  • 1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz. sour cream
  • 1 can (15 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Red pepper flakes to taste
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water, then toss with a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Stir in the tomato sauce and drained diced tomatoes. Season with Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cooked egg noodles. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  7. In a 9×13 casserole dish, spoon half of the creamy pasta mixture to form an even layer.
  8. Top with half of the beef mixture, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Repeat the layers with the remaining pasta mixture, beef mixture, and finish with the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  10. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
