Many years ago when my kids were younger ( 25 years ago??? Yikes!) I used to make this ground beef dish. It never seemed to have a name. I think my sister found it in an old microwave cookbook. My kids called it “Stuff”. They loved it. I have reduced the fat content by using low-fat ingredients. You can make it either way. The combination is yummy. 🙂

You’ll need:

1 pound ground beef or ground turkey ( I used beef )

14 ounces wide noodle pasta cooked

1 small diced onion or 1/4 cup

15 ounces tomato sauce

16 ounces  low-fat sour cream

12 ounces low fat cream cream

1 Tablespoon sugar/sucanat

1 cups fat free or low fat shredded cheddar cheese

brown ground beef with onion

drain fat, put in a large bowl

add cream cheese, mix

add sour cream, mix

add tomato sauce and sugar/sucanat, mix

add cooked pasta

pour into lightly oil sprayed casserole dish

cover and bake 30 – 40 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes. Cook until bubbly and hot

top with cheese, bake until melted

brown under broiler (optional)

It is so cheesy and it will fill you up. Great for a cold winter day. It tastes really good left over. It’s also a great meal to make the day ahead, just adjust your cooking time. 🙂
