SOUR CREAM BEEF NOODLE CASSEROLE

 

When it comes to comfort food, few dishes evoke as much nostalgia

as this Sour Cream Beef Noodle Casserole. You could

call it "An Organized Chaos" of rich flavors with 

creamy textures to create a meal that feels

like a warm hug!

It's Messy & Delicious.

Lets make a hot mess in the kitchen now.

In a large Yellow Dutch Oven pour in a bit of olive oil

and one diced onion.

Tumble in 1 pound of ground beef and brown it up on medium heat.

Mince up two gloves of garlic.

Add the minced garlic, stir and continue cooking.

A bit of salt please.

Pour in 2 15oz cans of your favorite tomato sauce.

Grab 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and as much

red pepper flakes as you like.

In go the spices.

Now green chiles are totally optional. For me it's a YES.

Green chiles are tumbled in!

Have a taste to see if you need to add a little something.

Nope, it tastes perfect that I could stop now

and just grab a bowl...LOL

Let the meat mixture simmer on low while

you whip up a few other things for

this Casserole.

Boil up about 8oz. of Egg Noodles in salted water

for about 4 minutes. You want the noodles

a bit firm because they will cook

more again in the oven.

Now just drain the noodles and set them aside.

Grab one cup each of Sour Cream and Cottage Cheese.

Mix the Sour Cream and Cottage Cheese together in a large bowl.

In go the noodles to the bowl of cheeses.

Now mix it up.

Did someone say Pepper?

Yes....I love my Pepper!

Better butter up your cute casserole dish well :)

Layer the casserole dish with half of the noodle mixture first.

Spoon over the noodles with half of the meat mixture.

Now repeat with the noodles over the meat.

Did someone just ask if this was a Riff on a Lasagne?

No it is not, It's a Sour Cream Beef Noodle Casserole. LOL

Spread the rest of the luscious noodle mix over the top of the beef.

Yup, now the rest of the meat mixture.

Not done YET...

Grate up a cup of some good Cheddar Cheese.

Sprinkle Sprinkle Sprinkle.

Into a 350 degree oven on a sheet pan because it

bubbles over for about 30 minutes.

Set your timer so you don't forget. :)

Now this just smells and looks like a yummy

Hot Mess.

This towel that my sister Peggy gave me is fitting for this 

Sour Cream Beef Noodle Casserole!

It's Hot and It will get Messy...

Imagine a forkful of tender egg noodles coated in a rich cheesy

sauce, paired with a hearty bite of seasoned ground beef

and just the right amount of tang from the

sour cream.

I am not going to Imagine...

Taking a big bite now!

And a second bite too because it is a Symphony of 

Deliciousness in my mouth.

"An Organized Chaos" in this casserole dish.

Whether you grew up eating casseroles or are new to their charm.

this dish will quickly become a favorite in your household.

Enjoy!

P.S.

It's a perfect sneak bite in the middle of the night right 

from the fridge cold too :)
