Here’s a casserole that our family enjoys. This dish is called Hamburger Casserole – very original name I must say!
I know you’re wondering why I’m making two.
I know you’re wondering why I’m making two.Well, the smaller dish contains gluten free noodles for my Jo.
And the larger dish contains the cheaper noodles for the rest of the family.I’ll give you the exact recipe – which I never follow. I just throw things in and hope for the best. I think I used too many noodles this time – not that the little kids would complain. They’d be happy with only noodles to eat!

2 cups cooked small egg noodles – spread in bottom of casserole dish
1 lb. ground beef – scramble fry until brown, drain grease
– add the following five ingredients and simmer gently for 15 minutes
1 cup chopped onion

2 – 7 1/2 oz. cans of Tomato sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

1 cup sour cream – spread over meat, smoothing level
1 cup cottage cheese – spread over sour cream layer
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – layer over top to cover completely

From this picture you’ll notice three things:
1) Cheddar cheese works just fine too!
1) Cheddar cheese works just fine too!2) I cook it for more than 30 minutes – we like the cheese crusty!
3) I actually have a set of matching dishes! (and they even have lids)
okay, and bonus item . . .
4) I need to clean my stove!
Hamburger Casserole has a mild lasagna flavour.
Darn – it doesn’t look like there are going to be any leftovers! Jo’s the lucky one – she gets another meal from her dish.

And there’s the faithful Lacie, waiting and hoping for a crumb to fall to the floor. Sorry Lace – we like it too much!
