Love This One. . .

Mexican Noodle Bake
2 c. macaroni, egg noodles can be used if you're out of mac noodles
1# ground beef
1 (1 1/4 oz) taco seasoning mix
1 can (8 oz) seasoned tomatoes
1 c. cottage cheese I like small curd
1 c. sour cream
1 can (4 oz) green chopped chilies
shredded cheddar or Mexican style cheese maybe a cup

Cook noodles, rinse & drain, set aside
Brown ground beef, crumble, & drain
Add taco seasoning (according to pkg. instructions) to beef
Simmer until liquid is reduced to almost nothing
Stir in tomatoes; simmer about 10 mins

Mix together cottage cheese, sour cream & green chilies
Gently add noodles blend good
Pam a 2 qt. casserole dish
Layer noodle mix with ground beef then cheese.
Repeat until ingredients used up.
Bake at 350 about 20 mins or until top layer of cheese is thoroughly melted.
This serves about 8 -- Good with homemade chips.
If you want to add picante/taco/or jarred salsa to this after cooking warm it a bit in the micro so as not to chill the casserole.
If there is any left it's good reheated in the micro.

Enjoy!

I am really fond of this concoction. It's so good with a cold glass of milk and hot homemade chips. m-m-m-m
