This recipe is a family classic - made for birthdays, taken to new mommies, sick relatives and potluck dinners. When I need a go to comfort food I can count on, this is my dish. Make a double batch and freeze some, because there is no doubt you'll be wanting more!!
Million $ Spaghetti Casserole
1lb ground beef (I often use ground turkey)
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 8oz pkg cream cheese (I use 1/3 less fat)
4oz sour cream (I use fat free)
8oz cottage cheese (I use low fat)
1 box spaghetti, cooked
Brown ground beef and drain grease. Add spaghetti sauce and set aside.
Mix cheeses and sour cream together, set aside. In a 9x13 casserole dish, place enough spaghetti to cover the bottom (approximately half of the cooked spaghetti). Cover spaghetti with all of the cheese mixture. Add another layer of pasta, then top with the meat and spaghetti sauce. Depending on how deep your casserole dish is, you may have some spaghetti and sauce left over. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. This casserole is even better the second day, after the cheese has set up and the flavors have blended, so I usually make it ahead of time. This dish freezes very well, and it is one of my go to batch cooking recipes.
