This is a vintage recipe from Good Housekeeping’s Casserole Book published in 1958. No record of where the name came from. It’s an easy delicious dinner to serve anytime family or friends get together.

INGREDIENTS 

• 4 cups noodles (1/2 lb.)
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 2 8-oz. can tomato sauce
• 1/2 lb. cottage cheese (1 cup)
• 1 8-oz. package soft cream cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup scallions
• 1 tbsp. minced green pepper
• 2 tbsp. melted butter or margarine
• 1/3 cup green or black olives (optional)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook noodles as package directs; drain. 
• Meanwhile, saute beef until browned. Stir in tomato sauce.  Remove from heat. (*The directions do not say anything about draining the fat before adding the sauce, but I did.)
• Combine cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, scallions, olives, and green peppers.
• In a 2 qt. casserole, spread half of the noodles; cover with cheese mixture; then, cover with rest of noodles. Pour melted butter over top of casserole. Top with sprinkle of shredded cheese.

Place baking dish in over and bake for 45 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly, then remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Prepare one day, chill overnight, and bake the next day. The flavors have a chance to meld creating an outstanding taste!
