Fattening YumYum Casserole

This isn't for every day, I don't want to know how many fat grams or calories was in this baby, but it had to be a lot. However. YUM!

Preheat oven 400
Serves 4 well

1 lb hamburger ($4.31)
1 onion (I used onion salt)(.05)
garlic powder (.05)
1 can corn (.79)
8 oz cream cheese (I used reduced fat) ($2.29) (cut into spoon sized chunks)
half bag egg noodles (1.25)
1/2 c 1% milk ($.25)
2/3 c shredded cheese ($.50)

Brown the cow. Cook the noodles to a tender consistency. Drain the fat off the cow (I rinse it with hot water to remove as much of the fat as possible). Return the hamburger to the stove. Add cream cheese then milk, stirring continually. (I "helped" the cream cheese along, smooshing it with my spoon) & add drained corn. If the mix is too thick, add a little more milk, but don't make it saucy. When mixture is heated and cream cheese is melted, add to drained noodles (or add drained noodles to mix.. it doesn't matter. Stir the whole mess til noodles are covered with the mix. Transfer the whole mess to an 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle the cheese over the noodles. Throw it in the oven for 7-10 minutes (until the cheese melts). Remove and let stand for a few minutes. Total comfort food!

Total cost: $9.49
Cost per serving: $2.37
