Sicillian Supper

Cannot remember where I got this recipe, (maybe a Kraft cookbook) but it is very good.

1 pound ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
1 6 ounce can tomato paste
3/4 cup water
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup milk
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup chopped green pepper
½ teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups noodles, -measure dry- cooked, drained (I use a curly rotini pasta)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brown meat, drain. Add onion; cook til tender. Add tomato paste, water and seasonings (sometimes I use some spaghetti sauce here instead of the tomato paste and water). Simmer 5 minutes. Heat milk and cream cheese over low heat (or microwave), stirring until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, green pepper, garlic salt and noodles. In 1 ½ quart casserole, layer half of noodle mixture and meat sauce; repeat layers. Bake at 350 degrees 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
