Brown beef in a large skillet. Add garlic, salt, sugar and tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. In a small bowl blend cream cheese, sour cream and onion powder. Boil noodles, undercooking a minute or two; drain. In a 9X13 inch baking dish layer noodles, the cream cheese mixture and the tomato-meat sauce. Repeat layers. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.

To freeze: cover with foil, label and freeze.

To serve: transfer to fridge the night before. Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
