Heavenly Hamburger




This is a "secret family recipe" from my Grandma. It's become my signature dish to bring to gatherings or cook for my friends! It's a layered casserole dish that can be made ahead of time, and is pretty easy to make! 

What you will need: 



8-12 oz egg noodles

1 lb ground beef
garlic salt
1 tsp sugar
2 8oz cans tomato sauce

5 oz cream cheese
8 oz sour cream
green onions

grated cheddar cheese


*for this recipe I actually used a portion of my "Not so sloppy, Sloppy Joe" meat as opposed to this ground beef & tomato sauce (I had a portion in my freezer from a previous night's dinner!)



READY?!


1) Cook the noodles. Once Al Dente, drain, and keep in pot with a small amount of water (to avoid sticking)

2) Brown meat, add seasonings and tomato sauce, and simmer a few minutes

3) Combine cream cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.

Arrange in casserole dish (for these measurements I use a 2 1/2 quart dish) 



1/3 noodles, 1/3 meat, 1/3 cheese mixture. Repeat 3 times, and top with grated cheese!




Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.


Thank you Grandma Nol for this deliciously easy family recipe! 
I hope you enjoy!
