Rachel's Casserole

This post is for my dear sweet sister, who this casserole is so thoughtfully named after. I don't know how it got deemed "her" casserole, but that's the only name it's ever had, and I aint' about to go changin' it now. Kids love it and your man will like it, 'cuz there's meat.


Here are your buddies: Egg noodles, hamburger, olives, green pepper, green onion, salt n' peppa', flour....

Sour cream, cottage cheese, and tomato sauce.

Cook your noodles, and meat. While those are cooking, chop up the green onion, pepper and olives.


Add the chopped ingredients to the sour cream and cottage cheese. Add salt and pepper. Mmm.


Put half of your cooked noodles, in a buttered baking dish (3 Qt).


Spread all of the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.


Put the rest of the noodles over the cottage cheese mixture.


Add tomato sauce and flour to the meat. (Drained of course) Mix together. Simmer 10 minutes.


Put the meat mixture on top of the noodles. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.


Sooo yummy, my friends.  I kid you not.
