This recipe is called Hubby's Pleasure Casserole because he's always so pleased after eating it!

Servings: 6

12 ounces egg noodles
1 pound ground beef
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups marinara sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.

Stir in the marinara sauce, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the noodles are well coated.

Add the beef and marinara mixture to the noodles and stir until everything is incorporated.

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
