1 tsp. salt

1/4 c. sour cream
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1/2 c. chopped green onion
3 tbsp. chopped green pepper, optional

Cook noodles in 3-quarts of boiling salt water. (One teaspoon of oil in water will help keep noodles from sticking together). Brown ground beef in 1 tablespoon butter and drain off fat. Stir in tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Combine cottage cheese, cream cheese and sour cream; add onions and green pepper. Spread half of cooked noodles in a greased casserole; cover with cheese mixture. Top with remaining noodles. Pour 2 tablespoons melted butter over noodles. Put meat sauce on top.

Bake at 360°F for 30 minutes.

Makes 6-8 servings.
