Ingredients:
- 1 lb spaghetti
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup butter, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Add the marinara sauce to the beef and simmer for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese until smooth and well blended.
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the cooked spaghetti. Spread the cheese mixture over the spaghetti.
- Add the remaining spaghetti on top of the cheese layer. Pour the meat sauce evenly over the top.
- Dot the casserole with slices of butter and then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before serving.
