MILLION DOLLAR SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE RECIPE

Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole is a delicious and hearty dish that combines the best elements of spaghetti and lasagna into one flavorful casserole. It’s named “Million Dollar” because of its rich, indulgent layers and the amazing taste that makes it feel like a luxurious meal.

The dish starts with a base of cooked spaghetti noodles, which are layered with a creamy cheese mixture typically made from cream cheese, cottage cheese, or ricotta, and sour cream. This layer adds a luscious and tangy flavor to the casserole. A savory meat sauce, often made with ground beef or sausage and marinara sauce, is spread over the cheese layer, adding a robust and meaty component. Finally, the casserole is topped with a generous amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, which melt and create a golden, bubbly crust.

Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole is baked until hot and bubbly, allowing the flavors to meld together. It’s a comforting and satisfying dish that’s perfect for family dinners, gatherings, or potlucks. The combination of creamy cheese, savory meat sauce, and tender pasta makes it a crowd-pleaser that’s sure to impress.
