How to Make Italian Sausage Noodle Bake

  1. Brown 1 lb sweet Italian sausage and 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 (24 ounce) jars of your favorite tomato sauce to the skillet.
  3. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. While the sauce simmers, in a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) and 1 cup sour cream until smooth.
  5. Cook 1 lb of your favorite pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  6. Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  7. Layer in the pan: 1/3 of the meat sauce, 1/2 of the cooked noodles, 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers: 1/3 of the meat sauce, remaining noodles, remaining cream cheese mixture, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Top with the remaining 1/3 of the meat sauce and the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven, cover with foil, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
