Ingredients

1 pound ground pork sausage (bulk)
4 ounces wide egg noodles
4 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups shredded (or grated) cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook egg noodles according to package instructions to al dente; drain.
Cook pork sausage, crumbling as you go. Drain excess grease, and set cooked pork sausage aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter, and cook garlic and onions of medium low heat for around 5 minutes. Do not burn.
Stir in heavy whipping cream, half the shredded cheese and the cooked egg noodles; spread into the bottom of prepared baking dish.
Top with cooked sausage; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

I use ground breakfast sausage, but any type or flavor of ground (bulk) pork sausage will work.
Feel free to swap in another type of noodle or pasta. Just cook it according to package instructions to al dente and drain well.
Swap in other types of cheese for Cheddar cheese, if desired.
I prefer to grate my own cheese for this casserole because it melts better over top.
If you do not have heavy whipping cream, use regular milk thickened with a tablespoon of flour.
To make my life easier, I use jarred minced garlic and minced dried onions in this recipe and many others.
I have a handy utensil called a meat chopper that works great when cooking bulk pork sausage or ground beef. I highly recommend getting one to make your life easier.
Use the rest of the package of egg noodles in this 5 Ingredient Hamburger Noodle Casserole.
