Hearty Spaghetti Casserole



Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a 9X13 pan by spraying with cooking spray.

Cook spaghetti noodles in salted water according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream and cottage cheese until well blended.

Brown your hamburger and drain well when fully cooked. Combine the hamburger with your spaghetti sauce.

To assemble:

Place half the spaghetti noodles in the bottom of the 9X13 pan. Spread cream cheese mixture over the noodles.

Top with the remaining noodles, and pour the spaghetti sauce over the top. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the spaghetti sauce.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is lightly golden and bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
