Wow. This is certainly not what I was expecting! I was expecting a dish my husband and daughter liked, maybe not me so much. I LOVED it!!! It's very easy to make , and it's total comfort food!! I was a bit skeptical of the cream cheese/sour cream mix, but oh my , it works and works well!! Husband and daughter really liked it as well , so it is definitely a keeper in my meal rotation!!!! Thanks so much for posting it Terri!!! **Update 5/28, 07 Terri, just made this for dinner last night. I tried and tried to get an attractive photo and just couldn't manage it! *argh* Just thought I would refresh my review , I cut the recipe in half with no problems , did not fry the beef in butter (I just couldn't do it LOL) and used lite cream cheese and lite sour cream with no ill effects to the taste of the dish :) We really enjoy this , thanks!!! :)

My neighbors and I love this type of compfort food for a quick and easy meal during the week. This fit the bill very nicely, thank you. I didn't have any garlic juice so I used a 1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic and adjusted the cooking method a bit but it was no problem and the flavors still combined very well. Thanks for a nice easy, simple recipe.
