SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE



Spaghetti Casserole image

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).

Provided by shells75

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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)

Steps:

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

WINNER'S SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE



Winner's Spaghetti Casserole image

This fast, easy recipe is a real family pleaser! I have used this recipe for many years as my good old stand-by for potlucks and tailgate parties. I have also baked this recipe in two smaller pans, keeping one for my family and bringing the other over to a new mother or neighbor as a welcome gift. This is my version of one I found in a community cookbook called "Enough to Feed an Army." (NOTE: Updated the amount of the spaghetti, I also now use a smaller box of pasta in this, even though the original called for a 1 pound box)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (10 -16 ounce) package thin spaghetti, cooked and drained
1 (28 ounce) jar prepared spaghetti sauce

1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
parmesan cheese, grated

  • Don't Overcook the Pasta: Al dente pasta holds its shape better in the casserole and prevents mushiness.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing enhances the flavor of vegetables and gives them a slight caramelization.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: Combining different types of cheese adds depth and complexity to the casserole.
  • Don't Skimp on the Sauce: Use a generous amount of sauce to keep the casserole moist and flavorful.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The casserole should have a slightly browned top for an appealing look and texture.
