Texas Casserole

I have been making this casserole for years and it is delicious.

1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb. ground beef
1 (8 oz.) can herb tomato sauce
1 tsp. seasoned salt
2 tsp. sugar
1 (8 oz.) pkg. egg noodles
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
4 oz. sour cream
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Brown onions and ground beef. Drain off excess fat. Return meat mixture to skillet. Add tomato sauce, seasoned salt and sugar. Cook at low heat. Cook noodles according to package directions. Using a fork, mash cream cheese and sour cream together. Grease a medium size casserole dish. Layer first with noodles, then meat mixture, then cream cheese mixture. Top casserole with grated cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4 servings

Note: I always use more cheese than what the recipe calls for simply because my family and I are cheese lovers! Also sometimes I can't find herb tomato sauce and so I just use plain tomato sauce and it tastes just as good. I know you'll love this one. Enjoy!
