We're full of hotdish (aka: casserole) around here! Dan has been very busy trying out new recipes.....
the most recent recipe he tried was really delicious and it was even more delicious the next day!
It is from the Nativity cookbook, that is a treasure full of wonderfully tasty things!
So, here goes another one:
Lois' Hot Dish
1 lb. ground beef
1T butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2-8 oz. cans tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 cup sliced cooked carrots (fresh is really delicious)
1 pound flat noodles, cooked and drained (we used bow ties, but egg noodles would be good in this too)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Brown beef with onion and garlic. Drain fat. Stir in tomato sauce, add salt and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine sour cream, cottage cheese, parsley, carrots and cooked noodles. Mix well. Spray 3 qt casserole with cooking spray. Alternate noodles and meat mixture, beginning and ending with noodles. Top with cheddar cheese.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, until hot.
**it can be prepared and frozen. If frozen, bake at 400 for 1 hour.
