Sicilian Supper

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
Ground beef, tomato and a tasty cream cheese sauce come together in this hot, hearty casserole. I recently took it to a banquet, and recipe requests came from every table.

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Cook noodles according to package directions.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato paste, water, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt, basil, garlic powder, chili powder and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
