Sour cream noodle bake is a tasty, simple mix of noodles, vegetarian ground beef, sour cream, cottage cheese and cheddar cheese.
I love lasagna. I wasn’t thinking of lasagna when I chose this recipe. But, as I compiled the ingredients, I saw how similar it is.
Our toddler loves noodles of all varieties, but macaroni is definitely among the favorite. So, we swapped those in for the egg noodles because that’s what we had on-hand.
This meal is destined to be creamy and delicious. And so simple, too.

1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine “meat,” tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper in the pan.
Stir and simmer. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients.
Cook noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream and cottage cheese. Add freshly ground black pepper. Add to noodles and stir. Add green onions and stir.
To assemble, add half of the noodles to a baking dish. Top with half the meat mixture, sprinkle on half the grated cheddar. Repeat with noodles, meat, and a final layer of cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until all cheese is melted.
