If you are looking for balance but still want to give this hearty casserole a try, you could certainly pair it with a salad like this Apple Slaw Salad or some veggies like Baked Lemon Broccoli. Everything in moderation is my motto!

so is the pasta sauce a marinara or alfredo
Marinara
What kind of marinara sauce like just a prego spaghetti sauce or something different ?
Yup, just a jar of spaghetti or marinara sauce!
I made this for dinner and it was delicious! My husband really liked it. I will definitely be making this again!
I made this for dinner tonight and it tasted great! I made a few slight changes since I’m a vegetarian. I cooked up the meat and only added a little of the pasta sauce. I then mixed the cream cheese, sour cream, and remaining pasta sauce in a large bowl. I made two dishes. One with the meant and one without. Evenly poured the sauce mixture over the noodles in each. I added a handful of cheese in with the pasta before storing as well as on top. This was super delicious paired with garlic bread (since I didn’t have meat) but my significant other said his tasted like cheeseburger almost. Either way definitely a make again meal!
Happy to hear you were able to make it work both ways Jamie!!!
What kind of pasta sauce do I use for the cheesy sour cream hamburger hot dish recipe
Any marinara store-bought sauce.
Made this last night and it was a hit! I just ate some of the leftovers for breakfast. 🙂
Can I omit the cream cheese? I’ve never liked it.
You should be able to omit it, it will just change the flavor and creaminess some.
Do i boil the noodles
Yes, the noodles should be boiled!
Is. The garlic dried, fresh, or the stuuf in the jar?
I almost always use the stuff in the jar!
My kids don’t like tomato base sauce. How to make it into white sauce? I think it will still taste yummy. I can still use sour cream, parmesan and cream cheese. Can i just add cooking cream?
You could add a cup of cream instead of the tomato sauce, but it will be VERY rich!
Those hotdish recipes and pictures made me hungry. You can’t beat a great old fashioned hotdish AND the good part is you usually have left overs.
is the parmesan shredded or powder
Grated Parmesan (powder)
