MILLION DOLLAR SPAGHETTI

MILLION DOLLAR SPAGHETTI

Traditional Spaghetti with a twist. I wasn't so sure about this at first when Emma found the recipe, but we tried it and it was so good. 

What you'll need:

8 ounces cream cheese
¼ cup sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup butter
1 (16 oz) package spaghetti
8 ounces grated cheddar cheese

Spaghetti sauce
1lb ground beef
¼ cup grated onion

What to do:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
in a large skillet brown the ground beef over medium-high heat while breaking the meat up into chunks with a spatula. Drain off any excess grease. Add in the grated onion and cook for an additional 2 minutes.Add spaghetti sauce to ground beef.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a medium bowl combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and cottage cheese until well blended.
Put about 4 thin slices of butter onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Place half of the spaghetti noodles on top of the butter slices. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the noodles. Place the remaining half of the noodles over the cream cheese mixture and top with 4 more thin slices of butter. Place the spaghetti sauce over the top of the noodles and butter.
Place into the oven and bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and spread a layer of the cheddar cheese evenly on top. Return to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
