Hamburger Noodle Bake

I made this last week and we loved it so I am making it again tonight for some friends. The recipe is made to be a dish for two, so I double the recipe. Who doesn't want to have leftovers anyway?

Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1/2 pound lean ground beef
2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1/4 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1//8 tsp garlic salt
dash of pepper
1/4 cup cottage cheese
2 oz cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp thinly sliced green onion
1 Tbsp chopped green pepper
1 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan

Directions:
Cook the noodles according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion until meat is no longer pink, drain. Remove from the heat, stir in the tomato sauce, sugar, salt, garlic salt, and pepper.

In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, green onion, and green pepper.

Drain the noodles, place half the noodles in a greased 1-qt baking dish. Spoon half of beef mixture over the top. Layer with cottage cheese mixture and remaining noodles. Top with remaining beef mixture; top with parmesan. Cover and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

This was from Taste of Home too. I added a tsp garlic to the meat, some Italian diced tomatoes, and used all reduced fat dairy. It's kind of like a lasagna dish.
