Spaghetti Casserole

The original recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law. (Thanks, Mom!) I've changed a couple of minor things. It's one of the favorites in our family.

2 T butter
2 garlic cloves
1 T diced onion
1 tsp sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 lb ground turkey (or beef)
1 lg can of Tomato Sauce
1 lg can of Crushed Tomatoes
3 oz. cream cheese
1 1/2 cups of sour cream
1 lb pasta
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Place the butter in a skillet. Add chopped garlic and onion and mash with the sugar, salt and pepper. Add meat and brown. Add tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes and simmer for 20 minutes. Blend cream cheese and sour cream. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and pour in the bottom of a baking dish. Spread cream cheese mixture over the pasta. Add the meat and sauce, then sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and back for 30 minutes in a 350F oven.

note: I save a little of the meat sauce and serve it on the table for those that prefer extra sauce.

This is a great recipe, I think you brought this over when I had Cole and it was a big hit!
