48 Reviews of Sour Cream and Ground Beef Layered Casserole

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.

    I expected it to be sort of like lasagne, but it wasnt. It was ok .. the noodles ended up being a little hard, and the flavor was not what I was expecting. I probably will not make this again.

    My family was NOT impressed at all by this recipe. I put in the ingredients as called for, way to much cream cheese mixture for our taste.

    This is very good! I also made a couple of changes due to what was on hand. I added some hot pepper flakes. And didn't have the fine egg noodles but did have ritorti. I mixed dry bread crumbs with the cheese for the top. It adds a nice crunch! I didn't have green onions so added onions from my garden with the meat as it was browning. DH said it was a keeper. Thanks for sharing!

    Made this last night and it was just ok. Not really sure if i like the cream cheese, sour cream combo. and i really like both of those things. I'm not sure what it was but i probably wouldn't make again.

    I liked the flavor and make ahead method. I have not yet added or changed anything but it will be a good one to experiment with different vegetables.

    I felt like the sour cream and cream cheese over powered the dish.

    I just made this tonight, but made several changes (because of what I had on hand). Okay, this may sound odd, but bear with me, it came out great. Instead of using ground beef, I sliced hot dogs up and used those. I used créme fraiche instead of sour cream (no sour cream in France) and a French version of cream cheese which isn't quite the same but is really good. I also used my homemade tomato sauce. It was a very easy, quick recipe to make and even with my little changes, came out great. My husband said he had to control himself to keep from going back for seconds, but can't wait for the leftovers tomorrow.
