Beef Noodle Bake

Ingredients:

• lb. ground beef
• 1 can chopped mushrooms, drained
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 1 can tomato sauce (15oz.)
• 4 oz. noodles, uncooked
• 4 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 cup sour cream, plain or with chives

Directions:

Brown ground beef in skillet. Drain off any grease. Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, sugar and tomato sauce. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Cook noodles according to package directions; drain.

Combine onions, using some of the green tops, with cream cheese and sour cream; blend well. In a greased 2 qt. casserole, spread 1/4 of the noodles, then 1/4 of the ground beef mixture, then spread with 1/4 sour cream mixture on top. Repeat 3 times. Top with cheddar cheese.
