Equipment

  • large pot
  • large skillet
  • 9x13-inch casserole dish

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounce spaghetti
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 16 ounce spaghetti sauce
  • ½ cup butter sliced, divided
  • 8 ounce cottage cheese
  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 8 ounce shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 to 12 minutes. Drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Transfer to a bowl and mix in spaghetti sauce.
  • Place ½ of the butter slices into the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread ½ of the spaghetti into the dish.
  • Mix cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream together in a bowl; spread mixture over spaghetti.
  • Cover with remaining spaghetti and top with remaining slices of butter.
  • Pour ground beef mixture over spaghetti and spread in an even layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Spread Cheddar cheese on top and continue baking until cheese has melted and is lightly browned, about 15 minutes more.
  • Enjoy!
