Mexican Sour Cream Noodle Bake


This dinner reminded me and my husband of our childhood. Neither of us remembers actually having the dish as children, but it brought us back. I used a few ingredients that I would never have eaten as a kid, but I loved how comforting this dish was.

8 oz thick, flat, gluten free noodles
1 package ground beef
1/3 cup diced onion
1 jalapeño, seeds removed, and minced
1 can tomato sauce
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a baking dish, and set aside.

In a pot over medium heat, cook beef, onions, and jalapeño until meat is browned. Drain excess liquid. Add tomato sauce, and chili powder, stirring until blended.

Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package instructions. Once drained, mix with cottage cheese, sour cream, and green onions.

Add noodles to baking dish, forming a bottom layer. Top with meat sauce mixture. Top meat sauce with cheese, and bake in oven for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
