Ingredients:<\/p>\n
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
\n1 pound lean ground beef
\n1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
\n\u00bd cup butter, sliced (divided)
\n1 (8 ounce) container cottage cheese
\n1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
\n\u00bc cup sour cream
\n1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
\nInstructions:<\/p>\n
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).
\nCook Spaghetti: In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti until it\u2019s al dente, roughly 12 minutes. Once done, drain the water.
\nPrepare the Meat Sauce: Over medium-high heat, use a large skillet to cook and stir the beef until it\u2019s browned. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Transfer the beef to a bowl and mix it with the spaghetti sauce.
\nLayer the Casserole:
\nPlace half of the butter slices at the bottom of a 9\u00d713-inch casserole dish.
\nSpread half of the cooked spaghetti over the butter.
\nIn a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream. Spread this mixture over the layer of spaghetti.
\nAdd the remaining spaghetti on top and place the remaining butter slices over it.
\nPour the beef and sauce mixture over the spaghetti, ensuring an even spread.
\nBake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. After this, sprinkle the Cheddar cheese on top and continue baking until the cheese melts and turns slightly brown, which should take an additional 15 minutes.
\nServe hot and enjoy a hearty meal that\u2019s sure to be a hit with everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
