Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ground chuck
- 1 can ((15 oz) tomato sauce)

- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions ((less to taste))
- 1 cup grates sharp cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brown the ground chuck in a large skillet. Drain the fat, and then add the tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Stir, and then simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Cook the egg noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and cottage cheese. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Add to the noodles and stir. Add the green onions and stir.
- To assemble, add half of the noodles to a baking dish. Top with half the meat mixture, and then sprinkle on half the grated Cheddar. Repeat with noodles, meat and then a final layer of cheese. Bake until all the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

Score!! Everyone loved it. The only thing I did differently was sprinkling garlic powder on my meat.
On the Pioneer Woman’s website in the reviews a lot of people were saying to try it with 8 oz of cream cheese in place of the cottage cheese. It was so good like I made it last night, but it did pique my curiosity. Just wondering if you had tried that replacement with success?
Hi Valerie! I haven’t tried it with cream cheese but I’m sure it would be fabulous, I think I’ll have to give it a try. If you get around to it before I do, let me know how it is. Thanks!
Hey Jodi! I’m saving your recipes tonite. Most of the Italian style ones have cottage cheese and we don’t like it. Can I use ricotta instead? Thanks for answering all of my questions AND awesome recipes!!!
Hi Kim, you don’t like cottage cheese . . . .gasp?!?! Just kidding, I just love the stuff, anyway, yes can substitute ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese.
