Beefy Sour Cream Noodle Bake

This was a great meal to switch up our dinner routine.  My family loved it, well except for the picky one, but we couldn't even get him to try a bite.  I would compare it to a beef stroganoff casserole.  It had the perfect blend of cheeses and sour cream.  This cheesy dish was a hit with our family!
