Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need for this cozy, easy comfort food recipe:

• • 1 pound ground beef – Browned and seasoned to perfection
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) tomato sauce – Rich, savory, and forms the base of the meat sauce
  • 1 white onion, diced – Adds gentle sweetness and depth

• 1 package (8 oz) egg noodles – Cooked until just tender
• 1 cup sour cream – For that cool, creamy richness
• 1 package (3 oz) cream cheese – Blends perfectly into the creamy layer

• • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or more!) – Melty, golden goodness on top
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp regular salt

• 1 tsp white sugar – Just enough to soften the tomato’s acidity
