non stick spray
2 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1/2 C yellow squash or butternut squash puree (we used the butternut squash)
2 tbs. shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbs. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and coat 4 ramekins or coffee cups with cooking spray and set on cookie sheet

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, puree, cheese, flour, baking powder and salt until combined. Divide the mixture among the cups and bake until the tops are puffed up and the eggs are no longer runny in the center when pierced with the tip of a knife. 13-15 minutes.

Cook egg noodles according to instructions, drain. Meanwhile, brown beef in a skillet until brown and fully cooked. Drain any grease. In a bowl, combine all ingredients, then pour into a freezer container or a 9x13 baking dish. Freeze (may want to allow it to come down to room temperature before placing in freezer)

On cooking day, thaw completely in fridge (take it out the night before or morning of). In a preheated 325F oven, cook for 30-45 minutes, or until bubbly and completely hot throughout. Serve!
