Million Dollar Spaghetti is a spaghetti casserole with layers of noodles, cheese, a homemade meat sauce, and a cheesy center.

Million Dollar Spaghetti

spaghetti noodles

beef

Italian sausage

salt and pepper (,

onion (, chopped)

garlic (, minced)

marinara pasta sauce

Tablespoons butter

cream cheese (, softened)

sour cream

cottage cheese

mozzarella cheese

parmesan cheese

parsley leaves (for garnish, optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large skillet cook and crumble the ground beef and Italian sausage and season with salt and pepper. Remove most of the grease.

Add onions and garlic and cook for a few minutes until onion is translucent.&nbsp;

Add all but 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce (reserve 1/2 cup for the noodles) to the mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.

Cook Spaghetti according to package instructions, just until “al dente”.

Place hot spaghetti in a large mixing bowl with butter and 1/2 cup marinara sauce and toss to combine. Pour HALF of the pasta into a 9x13’’ pan.

Combine cream cheese, sour cream and cottage cheese in a bowl and mix well. Smooth over noodles in the pan.&nbsp;

Top with remaining noodles. Add meat mixture on top and smooth into an even layer. Top with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.&nbsp;

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Check it around 20 minutes and if the cheese is browning too quickly, place a piece of tinfoil over it.

Wait about 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

I love to serve this with Homemade Olive Garden Breadsticks!

This turned out really good. My girls ate a ton! I didn't have fresh basil, but I had a jar of pesto, and added it. Also, a cup of mozzarella isn't nearly enough. We're all about the cheese!

Have reviewed all comments. There are dozens of ways to make this dish. Take the basic recipe, prepare it , then next time, try varying it a bit, using some of the suggestions in the comments. This is truly a classic home comfort food. Congratulations to  Delish.com. WONDERFUL RECIPE !!

I loved this dish! I added some diced zucchini (raw) before I baked it. Turned out great ( the zucchini was cookedperfectly, and not mushy, it paired well with the spaghetti) add a salad and perfect quick fast and easy meal!

I don't understand the negative comments being posted about this recipe. It was delish with a budget of under $20 dollars even added ground italian sausage. #triedandtrue #serveitupwithlove

Great go to dish.. I added some chopped bell peppers 🌶.. Family loved it

The kids really loved this dish and so did I. I found that the portion of sauce to spaghetti was off though and ended up using about 3/4 of the 16 ounces. I also added more garlic to the sauce and more cheese on top.I can see it being good with substituting Italian turkey sausage for the ground beef.

Awesome meal, everything fresh makes it pop. Needed more than a cup of cheese

I have made this a couple of times.  The family loves it. I added pepperoni to mine

Baked spaghetti is a winner, but as with most recipes you have to tweak this one. You will definitely need to add more Italian seasoning and garlic to the sauce unless you like a very bland sauce. And use 2 to 3 cups of cheese— a nice mixture of mozzarella and sharp cheddar is ideal. Only 1 cup cheese for 6 servings is bogus! You want a big chewy LAYER of cheese on top of the spaghetti, not just a little cheese here and there.

I made this tonight (eating right now).  I definitely miss the sauce.  I'll probably make it again with some modifications/additions.

Made this, and it was amazing...
I used edamame noodles, added some Italian sausage, Mushrooms, and spinach... AMAZING!

I just finished making the bake spaghetti. I put my extra touches to the recipe. It turned out to be delicious! Serve with Five Cheese Garlic bread.

So this turned out really well,  definitely add more cheese, next time i make it, i'll try some of the modifications. of course i'm a garlic fiend and 2 cloves are never enough for me, so i doubled it. all 3 of my kids ate 3 helpings when they usually will not eat much at a time.

Do it for that delicious, melty layer of mozz.

Baked Spaghetti Casserole

Spaghetti Casserole is an easy dinner recipe that comes together with a handful of pantry staples for a quick weeknight meal.

beef sausage

garlic

(15.5 ounce) jar marinara sauce

pepper

reduced-fat cream cheese,

green onions, chopped

Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside (I used an 11 x 7-inch dish, but a deep 8- or 9-inch square dish will also work).

Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water, just until cooked through but still firm to the bite (about 7-8 minutes). Drain.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes); drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, salt and pepper. Turn heat to low, and add cream cheese, sour cream and green onions; stir just until cream cheese is melted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat, add the cooked pasta, and toss to combine.

Transfer to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over top. Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake for 5 more minutes, or until casserole is bubbly.
