Hamburger Noodle Bake

From Taste of Home



Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
Dash pepper
1/4 cup cream-style cottage cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon sour cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Cook noodles according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain. Remove from the heat; stir in the tomato sauce, sugar, salt, garlic salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cream cheese, green onion, green pepper and sour cream.

Drain noodles; place half of noodles in a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Spoon half of beef mixture over the top. Layer with cottage cheese mixture and remaining noodles. Top with remaining beef mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.

Comments:
This was ok. The mixture of cottage cheese and the noodles and beef was kind of weird. Maybe it's just that I don't like cottage cheese that much in the first place. The scallions really added a good secondary layer of flavor though. I don't know that I'd make this again.
