Beef Lombardi
Ingredients
1 12oz package medium egg noodles
1 pound lean ground beef
1 1/2 teaspoons salt divided
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste
1 (14 1/2-oz.) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes

4. Microwave cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 20 seconds. Stir in sour cream and green onions. Stir cream cheese mixture into hot cooked noodles.
5. Place noodle mixture in bottom of a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Top with beef mixture; sprinkle with shredded Italian cheese.
6. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
