easy cheesy hamburger casserole
This is similar to lasagna with a different twist and cheaper to make. It's a make ahead casserole too. Just put it in the oven to heat up before serving. I've made this for years now and it always pleases. The kids love it too.

How To Make easy cheesy hamburger casserole
-
1Brown hamburger and drain. Add spaghetti sauce. You can add any spices you like here, onions, garlic, etc. Cook noodles and drain.

2Mix softened cream cheese in a bowl with the sour cream. Add the sugar, chopped green onions and salt and pepper.

5Bake in oven at 350 until hot and bubbly, approximately 45 minutes.
