Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Spaghetti
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 25 oz Marinara sauce
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 6 tbsp Butter
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the spaghetti cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked meat. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sour cream, and 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spread 2 tablespoons of butter onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer half of the cooked spaghetti evenly over the buttered surface.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the first layer of spaghetti. Add the remaining half of the spaghetti on top of the cheese layer.
Pour the meat and marinara sauce mixture evenly over the top spaghetti layer.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
