Italian Casserole

Betty's Beefy Italian Casserole Recipe

Описание:

In this video, Betty makes a splendid Beefy Italian Casserole. If you are wanting to get away from the traditional Christmas and New Years foods, this is a casserole that has the taste of lasagna, but is much less trouble!

Ingredients:

4 oz. uncooked wide egg noodles
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound lean ground beef
2 cups (16 oz.) Italian sauce
8 oz. cream cheese, cubed, and softened to room temperature
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Cook 4 oz. noodles in a medium to large pot, which has been filled half-way with water and seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until al dente (chewy, not mushy). Drain, and place noodles in a greased 11-inch by 7-inch baking dish. Set aside. Meanwhile, brown 1 pound ground beef in a large skillet, stirring until it is crumbly and no longer pink. Skim off any excess fat and discard. Stir in 2 cups of Italian sauce, and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 8 oz. cream cheese, 1 cup cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Spread mixture over noodles in baking dish. Spoon beef mixture over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until casserole is bubbly and cheese on top is beginning to brown. Serve immediately. I hope you enjoy this Italian-style casserole, after all the turkey, ham, and traditional holiday dishes you have been having lately! Enjoy!!!

Darlene Clark пишет: I have a similar recipe but use tomato sauce, garlic salt, a little sugar, pepper, basil & oregano. Also use chopped green onions into sour cream, cream cheese & top it off with shredded mozzarella. Very tasty and full of fat, will try your recipe sometime soon.

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @Toymit I try to cook the noodles a little less than done, because, like you said, they will be baked in the oven.\r

pieterjames02 пишет: Hi betty i need a simple easy dish that will freeze well as i work full time and dont have much time, do u have any good ideas for me, Btw i am from Sydney Australia and i love your videos : )

ironbuttermilk пишет: The advantage of shredding or shaving one's own cheese is that you avoid the added cellulose, which is meant to keep it from caking together, but also retards it's melting properly. Pre-shredded cheese has only the advantage of convenience in comparison.

ladynredmichigan пишет: Looks and sounds wonderful. Also, your hair looks especially nice today!!!!

etherealone пишет: i like to shave my own too, personally. it lasts longer too (not that it needs to really last any longer than the "forever" it seems to last...lol) I love buckwheat noodles! but they don't bake well at all. turn to mush. so do brown rice noodles sometimes....cant have it all i guess!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: I hope it was good! Thanks for commenting!\r

Betty's Kitchen пишет: No--I guess I was just stumbling over my words. I don't use a script, you know! Thanks for your comment!\r

Dani Lee пишет: would it taste just as good if you substituted cottage cheese for ricotta? not a fan of cottage cheese :S

Melissa Hall пишет: Thanks! Looks great!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @DeeFrootloop Thanks for your wonderful feedback! I love the way you substituted FF items! I do that consistently for my family, and it really adds up in the long run! Thanks for your sweet comment!\r

dixierose3 пишет: very good video

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Yes, this casserole freezes well. I would place the leftovers in aluminum foil in a shape that would fit in a baking dish or pan and close the aluminum foil on top and freeze. When you want to reheat it, let it thaw completely (overnight in the refrigerator is best), then place in your baking pan (still in the foil) and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until steaming when you open the foil at the top.
--Betty :)

Patsy D пишет: I'm thinking this would be a nice recipe to use ground chicken or turkey in, as well. It's hard to find recipes that have enough flavor to incorporate them, but I think this may be the ticket!

etherealone пишет: Congrats to Betty!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Yes, you can cut down the fat on the cheeses and sour cream, and just use lean ground beef, maybe only half of a pound.\r
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Thanks! (I'm a little embarrassed, because there doesn't seem to be that many views or comments!) But, thanks to all of you!!!\r

Tiffany roberts пишет: Betty my family Loves your food!! Ive made alot of your recipes and they are a hit everytime..especially with my kids....I am going to make the casserole tonight, but none of us like cottage cheese at all...could i substitute is with ricotta cheese???


evegpt пишет: Good recipe. I can see where I can sub low fat for the dairy and maybe rinse the meat just a little to cut calories. I have that Holiday baby fat to lose. LOL

Dale Welch пишет: WOW!! Miss Betty is HOTTT!!!!

etherealone пишет: i didnt know that! its crazy what they put in our food stuff! thanks for the info :)

leatherneck818 пишет: I just made this Casserole, it was a hit!! everyone enjoyed it.

ironbuttermilk пишет: Ohh, I see. You wanted to save some calories on the dairy products so that you could have your fudge.
I love your hair turned under that way btw.
It isn't true that you can use Any noodles, as I can attest that Japanese Buckwheat noodles don't work particularly well. LOL. Shaved Parmesan works even better than shredded, if you can find it.

ohpineapples пишет: Miss Betty! Well we ate this dish last night & I gotta say we LOVED it !! Yep, another hit by Miss Betty! I used Ricotta istead of Cottage Cheese & it turned out great.

tylarea пишет: This looks great Betty!

Betty's Kitchen пишет: Thanks for your lovely comment! Rick and I don't do a lot of discussion about our taping sessions. We just decide what we want to cook (based on what we would like to eat , or on what seems to be lacking in our bettyskitchen recipes), and then we chop and slice and dice, with my main responsbility being trying to remember how much of each ingredient we have measured out! It's not a very professional approach, but we have fun doing it, and we have lots of interesting meals to eat!\r
--Betty :)

ironbuttermilk пишет: Yes, just like shaved coconut. . . only much chessier. It looks very like tiny little sheets. Anyway, it melts quite nicely, better than either grated or shredded Parmesan. . . which rather resists melting.

DeeFrootloop пишет: I tried this recipe last night with the family, and I must say that it's definitely a winner! I did change one ingredient, though. I subsituted ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese since none of us like cottage cheese. I also made this very lowfat by using fat free cream cheese, ff ricotta, ff sour cream, reduced fat parmesan, and 95% lean ground beef.. my family had no clue it was all lowfat, which is a HUGE plus. =)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @MultiButtholes You should be able to eat cottage cheese, but if you are unsure, just substitute cut-up cream cheese in the place of it in your recipe.
--Betty :)

Betty's Kitchen пишет: That happened because of all of YOU! Thanks so much, everyone! And, thanks for noticing, Jimbo! I would never have known, otherwise! You're the best!\r

mmdghr пишет: yummmm !!! i am so gonna make this thank you

Betty's Kitchen пишет: @pieterjames02 Most of the casseroles in bettyskitchen freeze well. One of my favorites is Parmesan Chicken with Wild Rice. It makes a very large casserole, but you could apportion it into covered plastic containers and have several meals. To reheat, just add a little water and slowly heat over low heat, stirring occasionally. You can do this with other casseroles, as well.
