Provided by lvielbig

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces egg noodles
1 lb lean ground beef
1 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons chopped green peppers
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Cook noodles; drain and set aside. Brown meat; drain. Add tomato sauce to beef; remove from heat. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, onions and peppers. Butter a casserole dish and spread 1/2 the noodles in the bottom. Cover noodles with 1/2 the cheese mixture, then 1/2 the meat mixture, then 1 more layer of noodles, then cheese mixture and then meat mixture. Pour 2 tablespoons butter over top; press down slightly. Bake at 375° for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minute. If drier casserole is desired, cook 15 minutes longer. ****You can lighten this up a bit by using reduced fat/no fat cream cheese, sour cream & cottage cheese****

Tips for making the perfect Classic Company Casserole:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use other cheeses, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or mozzarella.
  • Add some vegetables. This will help to add flavor and texture to the casserole.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what brings all the flavors together.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

The Classic Company Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own liking. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a party, the Classic Company Casserole is sure to please everyone.
