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.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste) (optional)
2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (or more or less if desired)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream
1 large green onion, finely chopped (can use 2 onions)
3 cups cooked fine egg noodles
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or more if desired)
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1
Set oven to 350°F.
2
Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
3
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef with onion, garlic and chili flakes (if using) over medium heat until meat is browned and no longer pink; drain fat then stir in the Parmesan cheese.
4
Add tomato sauce and sugar; bring mixture to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes stirring occasionally (season with salt and pepper about halfway through of cooking time).
5
Transfer meat mixture to a greased baking dish; set aside.
6
In a bowl beat cream cheese and sour cream at low speed until smooth.
7
Add in green onions then stir to combine.
8
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the ground beef in the dish.
9
Top with cooked noodles, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the noodles.
10
Sprinkle with paprika.
11
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

I had a ton of ground beef so I needed to use it up... Another great recipe! I had to omit the cream cheese and replace it with more sour cream, as our cream cheese had turned. It was great anyway though! Really yummy. Everyone had seconds and thirds. Easy to make too. Five stars!

This was good. Agree with previous posters - noodles or rice (I used rice instead of noodles) need to go on the bottom, they get too crispy on top. I halfed the cream cheese/sour cream and it was not too overwhelming, like other posters noted.

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.
