Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Spray rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches, with cooking spray. Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Stir in pasta sauce.
2 Mix cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning in small bowl until smooth and creamy.
3 Spoon half of the beef mixture (about 2 cups) into baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture evenly onto beef mixture. Spoon remaining beef mixture over cream cheese mixture.
4 Stir 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese, the Bisquick mix and milk in medium bowl until blended. Pour over beef mixture.
5 Bake uncovered 30 to 35 minutes or until light golden brown. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Bake 5 minutes longer. Let stand at least 10 minutes before cutting.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Ground turkey also works well in this hot and hearty casserole.

You can now purchase precooked seasoned beef in a variety of flavors. If you want to save time, look for Italian-seasoned precooked ground beef and use enough to equal 1 1/2 pounds. No cooking, no cleanup--just mix with the pasta sauce and assemble the casserole.

I only made half (because I only had half a block of cream cheese and we're only a family of 3.) :) My husband, who doesn't even like cream cheese OR sour cream completely devoured his portion before I'd even gotten halfway through mine. I'd say he liked it! :) I used actual Parmegiano Reggiano and it was fabulous. Thanks for a quick, tasty meal that pleased all of us!
