This is my family's favorite recipe and they have shared it with friends all over the country and now my grandkids love it and they are sharing it with their friends. It's simple to make and tastes great.

GODFATHER CASSEROLE

1 1/2 lbs ground chuck

 2 jars spaghetti sauce ( I use 4 cheese, but you can use what you prefer)

 2 cups sour cream (or more if you prefer)

1 pkg cream cheese (8 oz)

 l large package egg noodles

 2 cups mozarella cheese shredded

Brown ground beef and drain, add spaghetti sauce, season to taste and simmer for just a little while.

Boil egg noodles according to package directions. I use the extra wide noodles.

In a seperate bowl, mix the cream cheese and sour cream.

When noodles are done, drain and put in the bottom of a 13X9 baking dish ( I use glass sprayed with Pam).

On top of nooldes spread sour cream/cream cheese mixture, then pour the ground beef/spaghetti sauce mixture.

Put in oven at 350 and bake until it's bubbly around the edges.

Top with the 2 cups of shredded mozarella and bake until cheese melts. I serve this with salad and garlic bread.

When my son was in high school, his friends would come over everytime we had this because it was everyone's favorite, when he went into the Marine Corps his wife had to learn to make it and they shared it all over the country wherever they were posted at the time. Now they are all back here in Texas and my grandkids have gotten their friends into Godfather, so now they all request that whenever they are all around. You can substitute low fat sour cream, cream cheese, and mozarella cheese if you want. This is easily doubled, but when I double it, I bake it in a large metal pan, it's probably about a 11 X 15 size pan maybe, not sure on the size.

@kate2357, thanks a million for this recipe for coffee dessert bars!

Almost 2 years ago, a friend gave me a bottle of Almond Roca liqueur and I had no idea what to do with it, & now I do!

I'll use it in lieu of Bailey's when I make these bars....probably this weekend.

Thanks again!

This is a basic cookie recipe with the addition of Rice Krispies which add a nice, crisp crunch.

Load them up with whatever suits your fancy. I always use lots of chocolate and nuts.

The last time that I made them, I didn't have enough oatmeal, so threw in a bunch of cornflakes to make up the difference.

Therefore, they definitely qualified as a breakfast food; Rice Krispies, Cornflakes and oatmeal!

I don't think I have ever had Almond Roca liqueur...sounds kind of good tho.

Probably would also taste good used in a chocolate milkshake or chocolate brownies. Maybe even in a nice cup of coffee with a splash of cream.
