Sour Cream Noodle Bake

I am having my second baby in 5 days (so excited) and have been getting over a nasty cold so this week I have been in need of some good old fashioned comfort food. This noodle bake is just that. 

recipe from the Pioneer Woman

Ingredients: 

1-1 1/4 lb ground beef

1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

1/2 tsp. salt

pepper to taste

8-10 oz. egg noodles 

1/2 c. sour cream 

1 1/4 c. small curd cottage cheese

1/2 c. green onions, diced

1 c. grated cheddar cheese 

Directions:

In large skillet brown beef and drain fat. Add tomato sauce, salt & pepper. Stir and let simmer while you prepare the other ingredients. 

Cook noodles til al dente. Drain and set aside

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream and cottage cheese. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Add to noodles and stir. Add green onions and stir.

To assemble, add half of the noodles to a baking dish. Top with half the meat mixture, then sprinkle on half the grated cheddar. Repeat with noodles, meat, then a final layer of cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until all cheese is melted.
