Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 4 cups cooked egg noodles
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes, undrained
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup cream-style corn
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter or non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 5

Place 2 cups of the cooked egg noodles in the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the first layer.

Step 6

Spread half of the meat mixture evenly over the noodles.

Step 7

For the next layer, spread ½ cup of cottage cheese on top of the meat mixture.

Step 8

Add ½ cup of cream-style corn as the fourth layer, spreading evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese as the fifth layer.

Step 10

Repeat the layers: Add the remaining 2 cups of cooked noodles, followed by the rest of the meat mixture, ½ cup of cottage cheese, ½ cup of cream-style corn, and the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Sprinkle the top with the chopped parsley for a fresh finish.

Step 12

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

Step 14

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
