How to Make Layered Cheese And Beef Casserole
- Cook 1 pound of noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While noodles cook, brown 1 pound of ground beef in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped) to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 28 ounces of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 16 ounces of cottage cheese, 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup of chopped green onions, 1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper, and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
- In an ungreased 13x9 inch baking dish, layer half of the cooked noodles, half of the meat sauce, and half of the cheese mixture.
- Repeat layers with the remaining noodles, meat sauce, and cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
