Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds ground chuck
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces egg noodles
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/4 cups small curd cottage cheese

GRANDMA'S GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE



Grandma's Ground Beef Casserole image

As the title suggests, this was my Grandmother's recipe. I've tweaked the amount of cheese and sour cream depending on what I've got in the fridge and it always turns out great! My mother has suggested this was made up as a way to use up ingredients in the fridge.

Provided by LaDonna Langwell

Categories     100+ Pasta and Noodle Recipes     Noodle Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
1 cup sour cream
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1 large white onion, diced
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix sugar, salt, garlic salt and tomato sauce into ground beef; simmer until flavors blend, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover skillet, and cool to room temperature.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Mix sour cream, cream cheese, and onion in a bowl.
  • Scoop half the noodles into the prepared casserole dish; top with half the sour cream mixture. Spoon half the ground beef mixture atop sour cream layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Top casserole with Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until Cheddar cheese has browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, a tender cut of beef, and a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the beef, make sure to do it in batches so that the meat has enough space to brown properly. Otherwise, it will steam instead of brown, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian and refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta. Pasta that is cooked al dente is slightly firm to the bite and has a bit of a chew to it. This is the best way to cook pasta for a beef noodle bake because it will hold its shape and won't become mushy when baked.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings a beef noodle bake together. Look for a sauce that is rich, creamy, and flavorful. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own sauce, be sure to use fresh herbs and spices to give it plenty of flavor.
  • Top with cheese: Cheese is the perfect finishing touch for a beef noodle bake. It adds a delicious richness and creaminess that takes the dish to the next level. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a good melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella is a classic choice.

Conclusion:

A beef noodle bake is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a beef noodle bake that is sure to please everyone at the table.
