CASSEROLE SUPREME (HAMBURGER MACARONI CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a heavy skillet to brown, breaking it up with a spatula. If the meat is on the lean side, add a tablespoon or two of olive oil to the pan.

• Season liberally with salt and pepper.
• Cook until onions and garlic are softened and meat is completely cooked.
• Add the tomatoes and softened cream cheese
• Stir around so the cream cheese melts evenly into the tomatoes.
• Let simmer for about ten minutes or so.
• With the heat on low, stir in the sour cream.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings.
• Fold the sauce into your freshly drained pasta.
• Serve as-is or spoon into individual ramekins or a big old casserole.
• Bake at 350F until the pasta on top has a bit of crunch to it and the casserole is bubbling all around the sides.
