Sour Cream and Ground Beef Layered Casserole

This is a great casserole that I have been making for years, it's one of my family's favorite dishes. Feel free to adjust all ingredient amounts to suit taste, I usually season the ground beef/onion mixture with seasoned salt and add in some cayenne pepper for heat but that is optional.

This was so good. It was cheesy, creamy and hearty all at the same time. The family loved this - definitely a crowd pleaser

    I was so shocked at how yummy this was. I only had extra wide egg noodles, so I covered it with foil as someone suggested, and that kept the noodles from getting crunchy. Also, I only had 1 1/2 lbs ground beef, but I did everything else the same and it was still yummy. Kids and hubby loved it! Thanks for a definite keeper...

    I like this recipe a lot, it is rich and filling, tastes great, I love cream cheese and sour cream. I used large egg noodles because that's all I had, I think the small will be better as suggested by Kitten(The Chef), the large ones tends to stick up more resulting in some crispy bites of noodles (which I did like) kind of like a crust. I also measured 3 cups of uncooked noodles and then cooked them, which ended up with more than 3 cups of noodles (my fault) but I love noodles so I used all of it and it wasn't too much. I also added coursely chopped fresh mushrooms, a fresh jalepeno pepper, seeds and all (I like it, BAM!) and some Italian seasoning, all to the meat mixture. I like things spicy. This is one of those dishes where the leftovers are even better the next day. Thanks Kitten!

    Fabulous! I loved the flavor and ease of making this yummy dish. My picky toddler couldn't get enough of it! I didn't have the noodles on hand, so I substituted rice, but it still turned out wonderful. Very rich. Thank you.
