Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

- Stir in the cheddar cheese soup and sour cream until smooth. Fold in the cooked pasta until evenly coated.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.

Recipe Notes:
- Cook the pasta just to al dente so it doesn't become mushy while baking.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than bagged shredded cheese.
- Add cooked bacon for an easy bacon cheeseburger casserole.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pasta, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, and verify your condensed cheddar soup is gluten-free.
