sour cream noodle bake

1 pound ground beef
1/2 medium-sized yellow onion peeled & diced
1 garlic clove minced
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
12 ounces egg noodles
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/4 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese


Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onions and cook until the beef is almost completely browned and the onions have softened about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
Add the tomato sauce to the skillet, stir to combine, and simmer while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, cottage cheese, pepper, onion powder until evenly combined.
Add the sour cream mixture to the noodles and stir to coat the pasta.
To assemble, add half of the noodles to a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. Top the pasta with half of the meat sauce, and then sprinkle half of the cheese over the sauce. Repeat the layers once again.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until all cheese is melted.
Carefully removed the baking dish from your oven. Serve immediately, or let sit for 5 minutes. We like to serve this dish with a green salad and crusty bread.
