Gourmet Beef-Noodle Casserole

Step 1

Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat; drain. Add tomatoes, sauce, green pepper, mushrooms, garlic, salt, sugar, and wine or broth; cover and simmer over low heat 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, blend together cream cheese, sour cream, onion and one cup Cheddar cheese; set aside.

Step 3

In an ungreased 13"x9" baking pan, layer half the beef mixture, half the noodles and half the cheese mixture; repeat layers. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40 minutes.
