Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish and spray with cooking spray.
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the tomato sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the meat. Stir and let it simmer, over medium heat, while the egg noodles cook.
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Don't forget to add at least 1 teaspoon of salt in with the noodles. * I usually add about 2 teaspoons of kosher salt.
- In large mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream and cottage cheese.
- When noodles are done cooking, drain the noodles, but do not rinse. Add the noodles into the mixing bowl with the cottage cheese and stir to coat all the noodles.
- Pour half the egg noodle mixture into your prepared pan, top with half the ground beef mixture, and then half the shredded cheese. Repeat.
- Cover with foil and cook for 20 minutes.* If you want those crunchy casserole edges and noodle edges then don't cover with tin foil.

GRANDMA'S GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE
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.
