Meat Patties Served with Noodles

Ingredients

4 servings

½ pound egg noodles 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for greasing 4 eggs 1 pint sour cream 1 cup cottage cheese ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ¼ cup grated onion 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook and Butter Noodles

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain them well, then toss with some melted butter and set aside.

Preheat and Butter Dish

Next, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a casserole dish so nothing sticks.

Mix wet ingredients

In a big bowl, beat together the eggs, sour cream, and cottage cheese until smooth. Stir in the Parmesan, chopped onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.

Combine Noodles and Sauce

Add the cooked noodles to the mixture and gently toss to coat them evenly. Pour this cheesy mixture into your prepared casserole dish.

Bake Until Bubbly

Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until it’s warmed through and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, then dig in!
