   Was wondering if this could be frozen and reheated? On a mission to make some "real" micro meals for my Uni daughter for the fall! Thanks, and another GREAT recipe!

2. Cyd says:

   This should work great frozen, then thaw and reheat. Thanks for stopping by and checking out our recipes! Have a great week!

   I was wondering if you can substitute anything for the cottage cheese?

5. Cyd says:

   You could use ricotta cheese as a substitute for cottage cheese.

   I was wondering if you could substitute Quinoa for the noodles? I'm a gastric bypass patient and pasta is a no no for me! But this looks so good!!!

7. autumn says:

   i was wondering have you ever used chicken in this recipe instead of ground beef? If so did it turn out the same?

8. Katie says:

   Do you have to cook the egg noodles first? Was thinking of mixing them in unco*ked with extra sauce and maybe foil?

9. Cyd says:

   Yes, cook the egg noodles. It's #2 in the directions.

10. Erika says:

    This sounded so good, but I made it tonight, and it had absolutely no flavor. I expected it to be much better, but it was incredibly bland.

11. Meme says:

    hi Erica The recipe says salt and pepper to taste. I just made it and I added some garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Turned out delicious. Hope this helps.

12. Vicki says:

    Could you leave out the cottage cheese all together from this recipe?

13. heather says:

    made this recipe tonight and I was disappointed that it tasted like something from a box like hamburger helper. it was quick and easy and NOT from a box and my kid's enjoyed it. So thank you

14. Cyd says:

    Hi Vicki. The recipe calls for 1 cup which is quite a bit. I looked up some substitute options for you and this is what I found. Hope this helps! Pureed cream cheese or thick Greek yogurt are popular substitutes used in many recipes calling for cottage cheese, as they don't sacrifice flavor or texture in most dishes. Ricotta cheese is often used instead of cottage cheese, and is a great filling for ravioli, cannoli and other Italian desserts.

15. Alice Birmingham says:

    I make this but I add a package of taco mix to the hamburger and that gives it more flavor. Follow the directions on the taco mix package. Haven't tried it with egg noodles, I use whatever pasta I have on hand.

16. Bridget says:

    I usually slip in a package of peas and carrots so that they kids are getting the veggiees they need with out complaining (by kids I mean my husband and 20 yo son!). They love this casserole on a nice cool evening. THANK YOU!

17. Keri says:

    I substituted and used ground turkey, used regular white onions, medium shredded cheddar and it tasted great. My kids loved it. My husband and I added some spice to our helpings.

18. Sandi Connors says:

    I found this to be very bland and dry. Made it exactly as directed. Sorry, but will not be making again.

19. Sara says:

    I made this tonight. Basically a deconstructed lasagna of sorts. I added a good deal of garlic powder to cheese/sour cream mixture. I think next time I'll cut the sour cream by half, see if that helps thicken things up. Otherwise, this is a bit soupy.

20. Don says:

    I'll be adding peas, yogurt instead of cottage cheese, plenty of garlic and taco seasoning mix

21. Norm says:

    I made this last night, and it was very good. I read some of the previous comments beforehand, so I used a couple of the recommendations / suggestions. I used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese, and I added a taco seasoning packet to the beef. I also added a whole onion in place of the green onion. That's just a personal preference. Highly recommend.

22. GLENN Eldridge says:

    I also added mild sausage.. and cup od grated parmesan cheese and topped with crushed rosemary and olive oil triskets... was good

23. Judith Davis says:

    Can it be cooked in a crockpot? If, so what setting and how long?

24. Cyd says:

    Hi Judith. Here is some information I found for you and converting a oven recipe over to the slow cooker. It was very helpful. With the beef and noodle casserole, I don't think you will have to alter the recipe that much because everything is basically cooked before sticking it in the oven or slow cooker. It just needs to get heated through. You may also need to cook longer because the high setting on a slow cooker is around 300 degrees and this beef and noodle casserole needs to cook at 350 degrees in the oven. Here is the link to the conversion information. I hope this helps. https://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/crockpot-conversion-chart

25. Dawn says:

    Do you cover this when you bake it?

26. Cyd says:

    We left it uncovered during baking.

27. Tanya K. says:

    Just made this and it’s super good, my husband, 7 yo and 4 yo is eating it up. I followed the directions almost exactly except I used a lot of salt/pepper, a lot of garlic salt and added an ample amount of garlic powder. I chose this recipe because it’s from Six Sisters - so good!

28. Cyd says:

    Hi Tanya! Thanks for your sweet comment!

29. Kelly says:

    Is there any way to leave out the cottage cheese and sour cream. If so what can be used instead. I don't like cheese or yogurt

30. Beth Miller says:

    Do you think it would work to use cream of chicken soup instead of Sour cream and Cottage cheese?

31. Momma Cyd says:

    We have not tried it omitting those ingredients and adding cream of chicken soup. It would definitely change the taste of the casserole. But I'm sure the casserole would still work.
