Million-Dollar Spaghetti ​

Servings: 4

Ingredients

	1/2 (8-ounce) package spaghetti
	1/2 pound lean ground beef
	1/4 cup butter, sliced - divided
	1/2 (8-ounce) container cottage cheese
	1/2 (16-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
	1/2 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
	2 tablespoons sour cream
	1/2 (8-ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2 Bring a huge pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

Step 3 Heat a huge skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer to a bowl and mix spaghetti sauce into ground beef.

Step 4 Place half the slices of butter into the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread half the spaghetti into the dish. Mix cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream together in a bowl; spread mixture over spaghetti. Layer remaining spaghetti over creamy mixture. Top with remaining pats of butter.

Step 5 Pour ground beef mixture over spaghetti and spread to cover casserole.

Step 6 Bake in the preheated oven for thirty minutes. Spread Cheddar cheese over casserole and continue baking until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned about 15 more minutes.
