Mom had a friend who was an excellent cook, and we were lucky enough to spend most of the important holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas) at her house. She was from the south, and I don’t think there was any dish that was beyond her abilities. Still, when I asked her for a recipe for my first cookbook, she came up with this very easy dish. I make it often, thinking of her.
-
1
8-oz. package medium noodles
-
1/2
pint
cottage cheese
-
1/2
pint
sour cream
-
1
stick butter or margarine
-
1/2
teaspoon
Worcestershire Sauce
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
Boil noodles in salted water according to package directions and drain. Mix all ingredients using 3/4th stick of the butter. Season with a little salt, a lot of fresh ground pepper and 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce.
-
Put in a shallow casserole (approximately 6 x 10 x 1 1/2”). Dot with remaining butter. Bake in a 400º oven one hour or until well browned.
Cooks' Notes: Serve with meat or for a luncheon dish with salad. We even like it reheated for breakfast.
If you double the recipe, I recommend using two casseroles as this will give you extra portions of the brown crunchy sides.
Can be made ahead, refigerated and then cooked an hour before dining.
