\n\ud83d\udd25 Directions
\nStep 1: Prep and Saut\u00e9
\nPreheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion for about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, until fragrant.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Simmer the Sauce
\nAdd the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning to the beef mixture. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Cook the Noodles
\nWhile the sauce simmers, cook the egg noodles in salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain well.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Prepare the Creamy Base
\nIn a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream and cottage cheese until smooth. Add the cooked noodles, season lightly with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Assemble the Casserole
\nSpread half of the creamy noodles in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
\nTop with half of the meat sauce.
\nRepeat the layers with the remaining noodles and sauce.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Bake
\nSprinkle the grated cheddar evenly over the top. Bake for 30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is fully melted.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Rest and Serve
\nLet the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the layers to set and makes serving easier.<\/p>\n
