This spaghetti casserole is one of my family's favorite easy dinner ideas. Mostly because it's hot, it's easy and it's delicious!
Spaghetti Casserole
I love one dish dinners (you can tell by my love for this Pork Chop and Hashbrown Casserole dinner, right?!)
When nights are busy and I need to get something hot and filling on the table they're the best way to go as everything is in one dish, so cleanup is a breeze.
Recently, spaghetti has been on the table a lot – we love spaghetti around here – are you sensing that easy dinners are my jam? 😀
Anyhow, I make this spaghetti casserole every once in awhile and finally took some pictures to share it with the recipe world – and I hope you love it as much as we do!
I always use this Anchor 9×13 glass dish – I love the size of course, but my favorite part is that it comes with a lid. The ease of dinnertime being done and simply putting the lid on makes my day. 😀
If you haven't already, cook your spaghetti to al dente, and brown your ground beef. Combine the ground beef and sauce in a bowl. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese and cottage cheese.
Spray the baking dish and put some small pads of butter in the dish. Lay about 1/2 of your cooked spaghetti on top of the butter. Top with cottage cheese mixture, the remaining spaghetti and top with the ground beef and sauce mixture.
Top with the remaining pads of butter.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, add cheese and bake another 15 minutes. And, enjoy!

I made this. But i used riccota cheese instead of the cottage cheese. It was
very delicious.
Glad you loved it! This is one of our favorites!
