This recipe is called Hubby's Pleasure Casserole because he's always so pleased after eating it!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Stir in the marinara sauce, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the noodles are well coated.
Add the beef and marinara mixture to the noodles and stir until everything is incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a lighter version, try substituting ground turkey or chicken for the beef. You can also add vegetables like sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for extra nutrients and flavor. If you're a spice lover, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chopped jalapeños. For a different flavor profile, try using a mix of mozzarella and parmesan cheese instead of cheddar.
