Beef Stroganoff Casserole
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
Spray 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add the onion and cook until translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4
Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking meat up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Once cooked, carefully drain any excess fat from pan. Season with the salt and pepper.
5
Add the tomato sauce, cottage cheese, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat.
6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Top evenly with the cheese.
7
Bake the casserole on middle rack of oven until bubbling, 20-25 minutes.
8
Check to see that casserole is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes. Serve garnished with parsley.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Beef Properly 🥩Don't skip browning the ground beef in batches over medium-high heat—this develops a rich crust and deep flavor foundation that elevates the entire dish.
- Bloom Your Garlic in Oil 🧄Toast minced garlic in extra-virgin olive oil for 30 seconds before adding onions to unlock its aromatic compounds and create a more complex sauce base.
- Temper Your Dairy Carefully 🧈Slowly whisk cream cheese and cottage cheese into warm (not boiling) sauce off the heat to prevent curdling and ensure a silky, smooth stroganoff sauce.
- Cook Noodles Al Dente 🍝Undercook egg noodles by 1-2 minutes since they'll continue softening in the casserole's residual heat, preventing mushy texture in the final dish.
- Reserve Pasta Water for Consistency 💧Save 1 cup of starchy pasta cooking water to adjust the sauce thickness—add gradually until you achieve the perfect creamy consistency before baking.
