How to Make Million Dollar Spaghetti  Casserole

    1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Prepare the  Meat Sauce: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the ground beef until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer the beef to a bowl and mix in the spaghetti sauce.

      • Place half of the butter slices into the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
      • Spread half of the cooked spaghetti over the butter slices.
     

     

      • In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream. Spread this mixture over the spaghetti.
      • Cover with the remaining spaghetti and top with the remaining slices of butter.
      • Pour the ground beef mixture over the spaghetti and spread it in an even layer.
    • Bake:
      • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
      • Spread shredded Cheddar cheese on top and continue baking until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned, about 15 minutes more.
