Auntie Betty's Pasta Casserole

Years ago my Auntie Betty made this casserole for us and we enjoyed it so much that it has been a favorite of mine ever since.

I have since found that there is a very similar recipe in the Best of Bridge. Their recipe is called a Casserole for a Cold Night. . .

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt


• 1 teaspoon sugar


• 1 teaspoon salt


• 6 green onion stems chopped


• 1/2 teaspoon pepper


• 2 cans tomato soup


• 4 ounces cream cheese


• 1 cup sour cream


• grated cheese for the topping


• noodles of your choice. . .8 0unces

1. In a large skillet, fry the ground beef, breaking it up and browning it.


2. Add the garlic salt, salt, sugar, chopped green onions, and pepper. Simmer a few minutes.


3. Add the two cans of tomato soup and simmer a few minutes.


4. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and the sour cream.


5. Cook the noodles until just tender.


6. In a 9 X 13 pan, layer the meat sauce, noodles, and cream cheese/sour cream sauce.
