Hamburger Noodle Casserole

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 5 cups uncooked whole wheat egg noodles
  • 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef or ground turkey
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 8 ounce cans tomato sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese
  • 1 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced, divided
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef (or turkey) until no longer pink. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Drain, if needed. (I used lean ground turkey and there wasn't anything to drain.) Stir in tomato sauce, salt, and pepper; heat through. Drain noodles and stir into beef mixture.
  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and ricotta cheese until blended. Stir in half of the onions.
  • Spoon half of the noodle mixture into a greased 13x9 baking dish. Top with cheese mixture and then remaining noodle mixture.
  • Cover and bake dish at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake 5-10 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Sprinkle with remaining onions.
