Beef/Noodo Bake

This recipe is adapted from Pioneer Woman’s Sour Cream Noodle Bake. And by “adapted” I mean I left out the green onions and changed the name. It’s very comforting and very tasty. I described to to Mr. J as an American take on an Italian-style dish. It’s a great way to remix spaghetti for something a little different. Head over to P Dub’s for the recipe. It’s pretty darn good, and she has great process photos.

There is one more difference from PW’s. I used these egg noodles in lieu of the ordinary kind. They tasted like homemade. Make the switch, if you can find these noodles. You won’t regret it.

One more thing… instead of making a 9 x 13 casserole, I made two 8 x 8s. I baked one for dinner and froze one to be baked later. This really helps on nights when I don’t have any energy to cook, I don’t have any time, or I’m out of inspiration. Both versions turned out great. I think this recipe makes a great addition to a frozen meal plan, and I really liked this method of half and half. I think I’ll do it again.
