Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) packages wide egg noodles
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper ( dash)
1 cup low-fat small-curd cottage cheese
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded ( more or less)
1 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
Directions:
Cook egg noodles and rinse in cold water, set aside.
Brown ground beef and drain.
Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to ground beef.
Add tomato sauce and simmer 5 minutes.
Take 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup cottage cheese and combine with noodles.
Layer noodles on bottom, then layer of meat, then layer of noodle; end with meat on top.
Cover with shredded cheese (I often wait to put the desired amount of cheese on for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking time, so the cheese doesn’t get burned).
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until bubbly; covered with foil.
