Hamburger Noodle Casserole

My kids and I love this creamy hamburger noodle casserole. It tastes like lasagna in a casserole but with a few different ingredients. I usually prepare this the night before and leave it in the fridge. It also is a great kid friendly recipe to take to a potluck dinner or when company comes over.

Easy Pasta Casserole

1 small bag of spiral pasta or 2 cups
large jar spaghetti sauce
1/2 -1 lb. ground hamburger
small can mushrooms, optional
1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
6-8 Cheese slices
Mozzarella cheese, shredded for topping

Brown hamburger and drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and set aside. Cook pasta noodles, drain and set aside. In a casserole dish, drizzle spaghetti sauce over the bottom of the dish. Add half of the pasta on top of the spaghetti sauce. Add more spaghetti sauce and spread over noodles.

Spread sour cream or plain yogurt over the top for the next layer. Top with cheese slices. Add the rest of your pasta noodles. Then spread remaining spaghetti sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes just until the spaghetti sauce starts to bubble and the cheese is melted.
