Are you figuring out by now that I am in LOVE with anything that involves Cream Cheese or Sour Cream?

This is another favorite from waaay back in the day when I was a child. We called it “Regena Casserole” after my Aunt Regena gave the recipe to my mom to try. My kids have dubbed it “Gena Casserole”, since they call her Aunt Gena, but you can just call it Creamy Hamburger Casserole.

Or if you are Avery you can call it:

“My FAVOWITE PINK CASSEWOLE!”

The tomato sauce does turn pink, thanks to all the creamy stuff you add! 🙂
