Spaghetti Casserole

Recipe #82519 | 1¼ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

A friend of mine brought some of this into work for me to try and I had to get the recipe. It's delicious! I submitted this exactly how it was given to me. I used thin spaghetti (my preference), melted the cream cheese almost all the way before mixing with spaghetti, mixed the ground beef with tomato sauce before layering (by mistake).

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    The recipe calls for a 9x13 casserole, but I usually split it between two 8x8 pans (increasing the spaghetti, beef, sauce and mozarella slightly if needed) and freeze one of them for another time.
  2. 2
    Cook the spaghetti and drain, but don't rinse.
  3. 3
    Put it right back in the warm pot and add the cream cheese.
  4. 4
    Blend the cream cheese until melted with the spaghetti and then blend in the sour cream.
  5. 5
    Put spaghetti mixture into greased pan.
  6. 6
    Layer some of the mozarella, then the beef, then a little more mozarella.
  7. 7
    Spread the spaghetti sauce across and then put the rest of the mozarella on top.
  8. 8
    Bake at 350 (or maybe 375?) for 30- 35 minutes- until a knife comes out clean.
  9. 9
    Let it stand for 5 or 10 minutes.

    Everybody I have served this to loves it! I do cook my ground beef in with the sauce, though.

    Very much a comfort dish. I have made it twice now. First time exactly as the recipe shows; second time with a little tweaking. I broke the spaghetti into thirds to make it more kid friendly, put less sauce over it all to enhance the creamy inner sauce, melted the cream cheese with the sour cream over medium heat to help it blend together,and I added 1/4 cup fat-free milk to make the spaghetti less stiff. All in all, really enjoyed! Thanks Shells75

    I followed your recipe as far as ingredients were concerned. I didn't start from scratch. I used leftover spaghetti from the night before and baked it in an 8x8 pan. I also combined the cream cheese and sour cream in a food processor before adding to the spaghetti. I was looking for what to do with leftover spaghetti and I found it.
