     Title: Poor Man's Casserole
Categories: Pasta, Cheese, Dairy, Beef, Vegetables
     Yield: 8 servings

    12 oz Uncooked extra-wide egg
          - noodles
     8 oz Cream cheese; softened
     8 oz Tub sour cream
 1 1/2 lb Ground beef
   1/2 c  Chopped onion
     3 cl Garlic; minced
     1 ts Italian seasoning
     1 ts Salt
   1/2 ts Pepper
   1/2 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
    29 oz Can tomato sauce
 1 1/2 c  Shredded Cheddar cheese;
          - divided
   1/2 c  Grated Parmesan cheese
          Chopped fresh parsley;
          - garnish

 Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC; grease a 13" X 9" baking dish.

 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add egg noodles;
 cook according to package directions until al dente.
 Drain; return to the pot.

 While the noodles cook, stir together softened cream
 cheese and sour cream in a large bowl. Stir mixture into
 the pot with the hot, cooked noodles until completely
 coated; set aside.

 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add ground
 beef and onion. Cook 9-10 minutes or until browned,
 breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain
 off excess grease. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning,
 salt, pepper and red pepper flakes; cook 2-3 minutes or
 until fragrant. Stir in tomato sauce. Simmer 4-5
 minutes; remove pan from the heat.

 To assemble the casserole, spread 1/3 of the meat sauce
 in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half
 of the creamy noodles, spreading into an even layer.
 Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the top. Repeat
 layers, then spread the remaining meat sauce on top.
 Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and the
 Parmesan cheese on top.

 Bake 25-30 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and the
 cheese is melted and lightly browned. Transfer pan to a
 cooling rack or trivet. Top with chopped fresh parsley,
 if desired. Serve hot.
