Ingredients

• 5 cups uncooked egg noodles
• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 2 tsp. butter
• 1 cup (8 oz) cream-style cottage cheese
• 1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, salt, garlic salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 5 mins.

Drain noodles; toss with butter. Set aside. In a blender, process cottage cheese and sour cream until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in onions and parsley. Add noodles; toss to coat.

In a greased 11x7 baking dish, layer a third of the noodle mixture and half of the meat sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodle mixture; sprinkle with Swiss cheese.

Bake, uncovered for 25-30 mins. or until bubbly and lightly browned.
