GRANDMA'S GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix sugar, salt, garlic salt and tomato sauce into ground beef; simmer until flavors blend, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover skillet, and cool to room temperature.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Mix sour cream, cream cheese, and onion in a bowl.
• Scoop half the noodles into the prepared casserole dish; top with half the sour cream mixture. Spoon half the ground beef mixture atop sour cream layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Top casserole with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until Cheddar cheese has browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

GRANDMA OLA'S OLD FASHIONED EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. Mix very stiff. Roll thin (1/8"), using about 1/4 cup flour. Cover with flour, roll, slice (about 1/8" wide).
• 2. Cook in water or broth & use as directed in recipes.
• 3. NOTES: I recommend cooking these at a gentle boil in a 2 qt saucepan over medium high heat for about 3 - 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Their appearance will change when they're done, but always cut off a bite and taste it to make sure it's "done enough" for you. I don't remember seeing my grandmother prepare these, but when my mom made them she kneaded just enough to make the dough hold together, rolled the dough into a rectangle and folded the long side into thirds, then sliced 1/4" wide noodles while folded (yes, wider than indicated in the written recipe she later gave me); the noodles always had little bends in them from the folds and they seemed somewhat fragile at this stage. Then she tapped the excess flour off and dropped them into boiling water. Sometimes she let them rest on the counter a few minutes while she did something else. Sometimes they broke apart, but they always tasted amazing! My guess is, however, that they would probably not break apart as much if they weren't folded...but it's up to you how long you want your noodles to be. These noodles are not like regular pasta; they are thick and chewy with substance! I have learned that this type of noodle is also known as "dumplings" in other parts of the country.
