Kid-pleasing Ground Beef and Noodles

6 servings

• 8 ounces uncooked noodles
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8-ounce) carton cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain them and return to pan, then toss with butter. Set aside.

In a skillet, brown ground chuck, then add onion, tomato sauce, salt, garlic salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Mix cream cheese, cottage cheese and sour cream with noodles. Spoon half of the noodle-cheese mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish. Add half of the meat mixture. Repeat layers and top with cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until bubbly.

The noodles in this casserole are very creamy, and the meat is a little bland for my taste, but I can see why kids like it. I have revised it to be like the original, but you can add low-fat spaghetti sauce instead of plain tomato sauce.
