A comforting and creamy casserole featuring tender noodles, savory beef, and a medley of cheeses.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
For added flavor, season the beef with garlic powder or Italian seasoning while cooking.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Don't overcook the noodles as they will continue to cook in the oven.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, salt, black pepper, cream cheese, cottage cheese, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Add the cooked noodles to the cheese mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the noodles.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Layer half of the noodle mixture in the baking dish. Spread half of the beef mixture on top, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Spread the layers evenly for consistent baking.
Repeat the layers with the remaining noodle mixture, beef mixture, and cheddar cheese.
Press down gently to compact the layers slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy beef and noodle bake with your favorite side dish.
Pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
