This Amish casserole was so good, it disappeared before I could grab seconds!

Step 3: Make the Creamy Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and cottage cheese. This mixture adds creaminess and a mild tang that balances the rich tomato meat sauce beautifully.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer the ingredients as follows:

1. Half of the cooked noodles.
2. Half of the meat sauce.
3. Dollops of the creamy mixture spread across.
4. Sprinkle with a handful of shredded cheese.

Repeat the layers again—noodles, meat sauce, creamy mixture, and finish with a generous topping of cheese.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden and bubbling.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a touch of color. Serve warm, and watch how quickly it disappears from the table!

Why This Amish Casserole Disappears So Quickly

This dish has all the elements of comfort food in one bite—savory meat, creamy layers, tender pasta, and gooey cheese. It’s simple enough for a weeknight meal but hearty enough to serve at a potluck or family gathering. And because it makes a generous batch, it’s perfect for feeding a crowd (though don’t expect leftovers—everyone will want seconds!).

✅ Tip: You can prep this casserole a day ahead, refrigerate it, and then bake when ready to serve. It also freezes well, making it a great make-ahead meal.

Would you like me to also create a shorter, storytelling-style intro for this recipe (like something you could use for a blog post or Pinterest pin), where it feels more like a personal anecdote about how fast it disappeared?
