Spaghetti Casserole

I found this recipe on Pinterest (original recipe found here) and figured I would give it a try.  My family is notorious for picky eaters, so it is very hard to please a family of 6 picky eaters with one meal, but let me assure you, this did the trick.  Our 4 year old, possibly the pickiest of all, ate this meal like he had never eaten before.  Needless to say we will be having this again.  It was also very good reheated, and was good for several days. 


Spaghetti Casserole

8 ounces spaghetti

8 ounces sour cream

8 ounces cream cheese (cut up)

1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained (crumbly)

30 ounces spaghetti sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

season with salt and pepper (or anything else as you see fit)

 

Directions:

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. Cook the spaghetti and drain, but don't rinse.
3. Put it right back in the warm pot and add the cream cheese.
4. Blend the cream cheese until melted with the spaghetti and then blend in the sour cream.
5. Put spaghetti mixture into greased pan.
6. Layer some of the mozarella, then the beef, then a little more mozarella.
7. Spread the spaghetti sauce across and then put the rest of the mozarella on top.
8. Bake at 350 (or maybe 375?) for 30- 35 minutes- until a knife comes out clean.
9. Let it stand for 5 or 10 minutes.
 

 This was so incredibly good!!  If you love spaghetti your family will love this meal.  It was creamy, yummy, delicousness. (And best of all, cheap and easy to make!!)
