1 (8 oz.) pkg. egg noodles
1 chopped onion
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste or spaghetti sauce
1 can mushroom soup
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. Cheddar cheese, grated
2 lb. ground beef
Salt & pepper to taste
1/4 c. water
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese

Prepare noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Microcook beef, onion and desired seasonings on high for 6 minutes or until no longer pink. Stir once or twice during cooking.

Mix tomato paste and water together and add to hamburger mixture and noodles. Stir to mix. Mix soup, cream cheese and sour cream together and pour over meat and noodle mixture. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and microcook until heated through or 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees in oven.

For a milder taste, substitute tomato soup or sauce for the tomato paste. I like to use spaghetti sauce in place of the tomato paste and then season to taste if needed.
