Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, drain. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, salsa, chiles and seasonings.
In a bowl, combine Monterey jack and mozzarella cheeses; set aside 1 1/2 cups. Stir cottage cheese and 3/4 cup sour cream into remaining cheese mixture.
Spread 1 cup meat sauce into a greased 13x9x2" baking dish. Layer with three noodles, and a third of the cottage cheese mixture and meat sauce. Repeat layers twice (dish will be full). Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Uncover; spread with remaining sour cream. Sprinkle with reserved cheeses. Bake 10-12 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 20 minutes before serving.
