We simply refer to this casserole as “The Winner” in our house!
My family loves when I put together a really good casserole for them. You know, something that is filling, full of flavor and totally delicious. With a house full of boys (my husband plus three boys of ours), we really have our hands full when making dinner and trying to keep the budget in check is really hard. The appetite of just two of them can easily blow through our monthly budget if I am not there to keep a close eye on it and make sure we keep it in check. In order to really stay in check, I have to make a lot of dishes that turn out to be cheap, but are really filling.
I have found that the best way to do that is by sticking to casseroles. Usually the ingredients are basic and filling, while the flavor and textures change and make them interesting. Well, the other day my neighbor Anne had made a casserole and told me to stop by and try it.
She said her kids hated it because of how picky they were, but if I liked it I could have it. SCORE! I went on over and it was delicious and knew my boys would like it. I was right, this one was a huge hit!

I will try this.
I have a question….. I am about to make this……Do I mix everything all together before putting in pan to bake (I know cheese goes on top)
Yes
Sounds yummy
About 25 yrs ago my sister gave me this recipe with green peppers and 3 oz cream cheese in chesse
mixture and layered it called mock lasagna!
It’s in the oven now!
How many does it serve?
If I don’t like cottage cheese what can I substitute
Ricotta
I don’t like cottage cheese what can I substitute
I was wondering the same thing Saundra, I can’t do cottage cheese either. I’m thinking maybe cream cheese?
You can substitute ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese.
Nutrition ? My husband is on a low salt diet for his heart so before I try it,,need Sodium content. .please
All that’s on the product labels. Heinz makes a no salt tomato sauce.
Also serving size and how many servings does it make?
Ricotta instead of cottage cheese?
Looking for casseroles to make for my elders to heat up . They dont want leftovers and cant cook much. this will be good for all.
Can not have any dairy. Anything to use instead of sour cream?
My suggestion is if you can’t eat dairy this is not for you. Everything in it except noodles and beef at dairy!
Made this last night and my picky kids LOVED it. This will definitely go into the dinner rotation.

I make something like this, everyone loves it, my version of lasagna.
Brown 1lb beef once drained mix 2 jars spaghetti sauce, mix large can cream of mushroom soup, 2pk cream cheese sand cup and half sour cream, 8ounces or more of shredded cheese, 1pk cooked egg noodles. Layer of sauce, later egg noodles, then white layer, then shredded cheese, repeat, I cook 350 for about hr.
Someone already asked my question. So I’m all set. Well
Try it this weekend. Thank you
But nobody has answered Debbie & Donna’s question of how many does it serve. I might want to cut it in half so I also would like to have that question answered. Perhaps no one knows the answer to that question.
A 9×13 pan usually has around 10 servings Give or take hearty appetites v light appetites!
I made this tonight! Delicious!
