Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 jar spaghetti sauce (24–26 oz)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup sour cream
• ½ lb white cheese (e.g., cottage cheese or ricotta, about 1 cup)
• ½ cup (1 stick) butter, sliced
• 16 oz spaghetti
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or more, to taste)

Directions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the spaghetti noodles in a large pot of salted water until al dente (firm to the bite). Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Creamy Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and white cheese (cottage cheese or ricotta). Mix until smooth and well blended. Set aside.
3. Cook the Meat Sauce: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat, then stir in the spaghetti sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. Assemble the Casserole:

• Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and place a few slices of butter across the bottom.
• Layer half of the cooked spaghetti noodles over the butter.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the noodles.
• Top with the remaining spaghetti noodles, followed by a few more slices of butter.
• Pour the meat sauce evenly over the top.

1. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
2. Add the Cheese: Remove the casserole, sprinkle your desired amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top, and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
3. Serve & Enjoy: Let the casserole cool slightly, then serve up this cheesy goodness! Pair with garlic bread and a fresh salad for the ultimate meal. Serves 10.
