Sour Cream Noodle Bake by Kitchen Witch

[Cookbook_Junkie]

I tried this recipe, I really liked it, however there are 2 things I could change about it. The green onions in the noodles really is too much. They overpower a little and do not really get cooked. I would omit them, and just put a little yellow onion into the beef as it browns. Also you really do not need the cheddar cheese on top if you do not want to put it. The dish is very rich and it would not be mixed.

On a side note, the beef mixture is great when mixed into Mac N Cheese. It turns it into a nice beefy mac.
