Description
As the title suggests, this was my Grandmother’s recipe. I’ve tweaked the amount of cheese and sour cream depending on what I’ve got in the fridge and it always turns out great! My mother has suggested this was made up as a way to use up ingredients in the fridge.

- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
