*** NOTES IN ITALICS ARE MY COMMENTS ON THE DIRECTIONS!
Ingredients
1 lb. of Ground Beef1 can of Spaghetti Sauce
8 oz of Cream Cheese
1/4 cup of Sour Cream
1/2 lb. of Cottage CheeseWhole Stick of Butter
8 oz. of Noodles
Bag of Sharp Chedder Cheese
First: Go ahead and put your over on 350! Boil those noodles!!
While they are boiling go ahead and mix up the cream cheese, sour cream and
cottage cheese!! Make sure that it is mixed up VERY well! -I used my kitchen aid mixer to make sure I got it good and mixed
cottage cheese!! Make sure that it is mixed up VERY well! -I used my kitchen aid mixer to make sure I got it good and mixed
Then.. go ahead and cook that meat!
Make sure its good and brown and drain it!
Then pour your spaghetti sauce over it! -Issue I saw here was there was no specific size noted on the "can of spaghetti sauce" Cans and Jars very alot, I just a 24 oz jar, because I buy in bulk but only used 16 oz of it because that is a standard Jar Size.
Take a few slices of your butter and put them in the bottom of your casserole dish -Again no specific amount but being butter was used twice in the recipe I used half (1/4 cup) here.
Then layer HALF of the noodles in the bottom of the dish! - There was no dish size specified I used a 13 X 9 however based on the differences in coverage between her pics and mine I am guessing hers was a 11x7. The only difference I see is that my coverage is thinner than hers.
Pour that nicely mixed up creamy mixture on top of the noodles.
and SPREAAAAAD it all over!
Then add the rest of your noodles and put a few slices of butter on top of those noodles. -Again I guessed 1/4 cup
Now pour the red sauce and meat on top!
and once again SPREEAAAAD
Now place that awesome casserole in your oven for 30 minutes!
After those 30 minutes take the dish out and pour some chedder cheese on the top and put it back in the oven for 15 minutes! Now there were no specifics on the size of the bag of cheese or if you should use it all so I just covered the top like I would with a lasagna and it seemed to do the trick (about 2 cups), I didn't want it to end up over cheesy or greasy.
Then your DONE!
*** Now for Me and My Younghans Review****
It smelled AMAZING!! Sooo good!!
I loved it, it was super cheesy and creamy which is just my style. I was a huge fan of the texture too.. nice and thick! This is a great dish for a larger family or a potluck because of the amount of food that you have at your disposal and also its a great dish to alternate with the normal lasagna.
Daddy Younghans liked it but wasn't 100% sold. He is of Italian decent and usually likes his food more authentic and less creamy. But he said he would definitely eat it again and went back for 2nds..but did ask that next time I hold back on the Sour Cream and Cottage Cheese.
Steven... ATE IT ALL.. but he is my eater and loves all things food (its amazing he is sooo skinny).
Zachary (THE PICKIEST EATER) ate it... had to bargain toward the end for him to finish the meat but he liked the noodles a lot (and that is a huge compliment because he does not eat anything).
Over all... 4 out of 5 stars, the loss of one star was due to the vagueness of some of the recipe which made it difficult to follow without playing the guessing game, and because Daddy thought it was a bit too cheesy. This will be a recipe that makes its way into our rotation!!
