Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds ground beef
2 cans tomato sauce (15 oz each)
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz sour cream
8 oz egg noodles
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
The ground beef should be well cooked after browning it in a pan over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.
Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the skillet and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour in the tomato sauce, add sugar, salt, and pepper to taste, and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
Combine the sour cream and cream cheese in a another bowl.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain them thoroughly.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread half of the cooked egg noodles in an even layer on the bottom.
Top the noodles with half of the cream cheese mixture, followed by half of the meat mixture.
Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, cream cheese mixture, and meat mixture.
Evenly distribute the cheddar cheese over the casserole’s top.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the cheese is bubbling and melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
