Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (or a substitute you prefer)
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz angel hair pasta

Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta: Cook angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and cook until softened.
3. Season and add sauce: Stir in the tomato sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to blend flavors.
4. Layer the casserole: In a bowl, combine sour cream and cream cheese until smooth. Spread this mixture over the cooked pasta in a casserole dish, creating a creamy layer.
