Southwestern Spaghetti Casserole image

A close friend made this Mexican-Italian bake for me almost 20 years ago, and I've prepared it regularly ever since. It comes together in a snap because it relies largely on convenient ingredients I keep on hand. We like it with a loaf of crusty bread. -Rose Turner Minnick, Christiansburg, Virginia

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).

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)
