- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 bunch green onions
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- 2 cloves garlic
Steps
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Cook the egg noodles 1 minute less than the package time; drain.
- Brown the beef with the garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat for 7 minutes until it reaches 160°F, drain, and stir in the tomato sauce with salt and pepper; simmer 5 minutes.

- Layer half the noodles, half the beef sauce, and half the cheddar in a 9x13 dish; repeat.
- Cover and bake 20 minutes, then uncover and bake 10 more until bubbly. Top with the remaining green onions.
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
