Sour Cream Hamburger and Noodle Bake

Although the men have wrapped up harvest, it’s still a very busy time.   They park the combines and move right into dirt work, field work, cattle and desk work.   No rest for the weary I guess.   😉     My husbands schedule adds a little bit more flexibility now, as he may just drop in to grab a quick bite before continuing on.   This always puts me into quick meal prep mode.   1.) what food do I have on hand that I can make a warm meal out of?  2.) what can be made quickly?

This Sour Cream Hamburger and Noodle Bake won out the other day.    I could quickly put it together and it is a warm and comforting dish.   Perfect for the guy who has been eating lunch meat sandwiches for the last two months!
