sour cream noodle bake

tried the Pioneer Woman's Sour Cream Noodle Bake last night. Holy cow this was good! I did add an onion and a green pepper to the meat mixture, and I used Emeril's Essence seasoning. Severeal prior reviews said it was lacking something---so I figured the extra seasoning and onion/pepper would help. I also used a combo of colby jack and extra sharp cheddar. I used bow tie pasta because I didnt have egg noodles on hand. Any pasta would be fine. I probably used a ration of 60/40 cottage cheese to sour cream, and I used an 8x8 glass pan to bake it in. This was so good and easy! Will be making again and again!
