Mock Lasagna

If you can't already tell, I am a pasta lover. I think it's the 1/16 Italian in me!! This is a yummy lasagna that is a little different from the norm and it is quick and easy. Enjoy.

1 (8 oz) package softened cream cheese
8 oz. sour cream
1 lb. hamburger meat
1 cup shredded mozzarella/cheddar/or mixed cheese
12 oz. egg noodles or crinkly cut egg noodles
2 medium size cans of tomato sauce
1 medium size can of peeled, sliced tomatoes.

Brown hamburger meat; add garlic salt, basil, Italian seasoning, whatever you like in lasagna (or use a jar of Ragu). Drain hamburger meat and put in pan with tomato sauce and sliced tomatoes, put on medium heat and stir. While that heats up, put cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl and mix it up with a hand mixer until creamy- set aside. Also, start boiling egg noodles and preheat your oven to 400 degrees. When sauce and noodles are done, begin to layer in a casserole dish. Start with a layer of sauce, then noodles, then sour cream mixture then do another layer starting with noodles, then sauce and top it off with cheese. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
