Million Dollar Spaghetti
Nov. 6th, 2017 10:54 amYesterday was Hubby's birthday. On his birthday he can choose to either go out for dinner or ask me to fix a special meal. This year he requested Million Dollar Spaghetti. I know I complain that it seems the only recipes I share here contain pasta, but this dish is so good it deserves to be shared.

1 lb. spaghetti, broken in half (I prefer vermicelli)
1 lb. ground beef
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 stick butter, sliced and divided
1 cup cottage cheese
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350oF. Cook spaghetti to al dente. Crumble and cook ground beef. Stir spaghetti sauce into ground beef. Combine cream cheese, sour cream and cottage cheese. Place half the butter in the bottom of a prepared 9x13 baking pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray (I divide it into 2 8x8 pans and freeze one for later). Spread half the spaghetti into the dish. Top with cream cheese mixture. Layer remaining spaghetti over cream cheese. Top with remaining butter. Pour ground beef mixture over spaghetti and spread to cover. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake another 15 minutes, uncovered.
