Tonight's dinner is such a simple and easy recipe courtesy of the Pioneer Woman.  I have been following her blog for years and love her show on Food Network.  So, I was pleasantly surprised to see this one on pinterest.  Actually saw her do this one on her show.  I served it with a basic spinach salad and cheesy rolls.  A really nice dinner that comes together in minutes.

                                   Sour Cream Noodle Bake

1 1/4 pd ground chuck
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz egg noodles
1/2 c sour cream
1 1/4 small curd cottage cheese
1/2 c sliced green onions
1 c grated cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350.
Brown meat, drain add tomato sauce, salt and pepper.  Let simmer while noodles cook.  Drain set aside.
In a medium bowl combine sour cream and cottage cheese.  Add black pepper, noodles and stir.  Add green onions and stir again.
Layer noodles, beef and cheese.  Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.

My note:  I added just a bit of roasted garlic just cause I always have it on hand.  This is a little like a lasagna only easier.  The original pin,  some comments said it didn't need the green onions that they were overpowering I however, disagree I liked the taste of the onions.  I just reduced the amount a tad.

                                       Basic Spinach Salad

1 bag of spinach, 2 hard boiled eggs, sliced and just a bit of thinly sliced red onion.  Combine all ingredients put into bowls and add your favorite dressing.

The rolls were leftover from the roast night just opened them up put some butter and a slice of any kind of cheese you want wrap in foil and bake along side the casserole.  Like little grilled cheese.
This one is a keeper in my book and will probably make it again.  I am looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow.  Enjoy!!!!
