Print Recipe

This classic Pioneer Woman dish blends egg noodles with a creamy sour cream mixture and a flavorful ground beef and tomato sauce, all baked together with melted cheese on top. The result is a bubbly, golden casserole that’s creamy, cheesy, and perfectly comforting — a true family-style meal that everyone loves.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 8 oz wide egg noodles

  • ¾ cup sour cream

  • 1¼ cup small curd cottage cheese

  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (divided)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the noodles

Boil egg noodles in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Brown the beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

Step 3: Make the meat sauce

Add tomato sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir well and let simmer for 5–7 minutes so the flavors blend together.

Step 4: Mix the creamy noodle base

In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles with sour cream and cottage cheese. Stir until all the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 5: Assemble the casserole

Spread half of the noodle mixture evenly on the bottom of a greased baking dish. Spoon half of the meat sauce over it, then sprinkle with a handful of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, sauce, and cheese.

Step 6: Bake the casserole

Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 7: Cool and serve

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
