In bowl, blend cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, onion and chopped green pepper. Grease a 9X13-inch casserole and set aside. Cook noodles according to package directions, cutting down on cooking time by 2 minutes. Drain noodles and stir in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Put 1/2 the noodles in bottom of casserole, making an even layer. Spread cheeses over this and follow with rest of noodles. Cover with ground meat and top with grated Parmesan or Cheddar cheese. Lay strips of green pepper and tomato slices in a design over the top layer. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
