Sour Cream Casserole

I found this recipe at allrecipes.com, but I was missing some of the ingredients. I wanted to try it anyway because I was looking for something different than normal. This was so good, that even Ms. Picky asked for seconds, and she even went for leftovers (and she NEVER eats leftovers!). I think we will be keeping this on the menu for a long time.

2 lbs 96% lean ground beef

1 box of noodles (I used Dreamfields Penne )

1 sm container of reduced fat sour cream

2 tbsp part skim ricotta

2 tsp cream cheese, whipped

1/2 c spaghetti sauce

1/4 c tomato paste

1/4 c milk

1 packet onion soup mix

8 oz. pkg of Italian 5 Cheese blend cheese

1 c corn flakes, crushed

1. Preheat oven to 350. Brown beef in a skillet until there is no more pink. Drain excess fat. Mix in sour cream, ricotta, spaghetti sauce, cream cheese, milk, onion soup mix until well blended. Cook over low heat 5-8 minutes until heated through.

2. Cook noodles according to packages directions, cooking to al dente rather than all the way done. Drain.

3. Mix noodles with the meat mixture. Pour into a shallow baking dish and cover with cheese. Add crushed corn flakes across the top and bake for 20-30 minutes.

I didn't add the seasonings because I think it varies. I used Mrs Dash, salt and pepper. Enjoy!
