¾ stick butter

Put cream cheese mixture on top of the noodles and spread evenly. Top with remainder of the noodles and put some butter slices on top. Spread meat mixture over the top.
4. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes and then top with the bag of shredded cheese and put back in the oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
