I love this casserole because it combines my two favorite things: Ground beef and cheese.
Check out what my pals over at Recipe Lion had to say about this recipe:
This cheesy noodle casserole is so good, people at the office went back for seconds. The ground beef tastes like a meatball because it was cooked with tomato sauce and garlic. The sour cream/cream cheese mixture unites the casserole and the cheese is golden perfection. This is an excellent weeknight dinner.
I can totally see why your co-workers went back for seconds! My mama always told me that going up for seconds at a party was rude but I think I’d make an exception if this casserole was being served.
Ingredients
3 cups cooked Barilla egg noodles
1 pound ground beef
1 (15-ounce) can Hunt’s tomato sauce

Thank you to Recipe Lion for this great recipe.
So excited to see new casserole recipes. So bummed when EVERY SINGLE ONE had tomatoes (sauce,soup) in them – no can do tomatoes!
tried this for the first time tonight and used pizza sauce instead of tomato sauce. had hamburger with onions, pepperoni, black olives and mozzarella cheeses and it was amazing. like a deep dish pizza
This has no seasonings in it!! How can it be like pizza?? Hamburger and Tomatoes on Biscuits!! Not worth trying in my book!! My mother-in-lay taught me how to make a spaghetti pizza on a tight budget 40 years ago. Is still a family favorite!! Kids love pizza and spaghetti!! I do use package pizza crust now, instead of making it from scratch. Yours would be good and simple with some basil, oregano, garlic powder, garlic salt and Italian seasonings!! Try it!! Simple dish bumped up!!
