BAKED CREAM CHEESE SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat and stir in spaghetti sauce.
• Drain spaghetti and place in a bowl. Add cream cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Stir until cream cheese is melted and spaghetti is thoroughly coated. Spread a small amount of meat sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking pan; put spaghetti on top and top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes.

CHEESY LAYERED BAKED SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grease a lasagna baking pan.
• Place the cooked spaghetti in a bowl and toss with salt, pepper, eggs and 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; set aside.
• For the sauce (this sauce is better if made a day in advance!).
• Brown the ground beef and pork in a medium heavy pot along with the dried oregano, basil, chili flakes, onion, one green bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, garlic and mushrooms; cook until the beef and pork are browned and the veggies are tender (about 12-15 minutes) drain fat, then add in the olives and crushed tomatoes; simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes.
• Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
• At this point you can cool to room temperature then refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Place half of the spaghetti in the bottom of the baking dish/pan.
• Top with the half of the meat sauce, then about 1-1/2 cups mozza cheese.
• Repeat layers once ending up with the mozza cheese on top.
• Sprinkle a chopped green bell pepper on top of the mozza cheese.
• In a bowl mix together the soup with milk or water, then drizzle on top of the casserole.
• Top/sprinkle with about 1/3 cup (or more or less) Parmesan cheese (the pan will be full so I advise you to place the pan on a baking sheet to catch spills).
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly (if desired sprinkle some mozza cheese on top the last 5 minutes of baking).

BAKED SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 11-12 minutes. Drain, toss with a little olive oil to prevent it from sticking, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large pan over medium heat, combine the ground beef and 1/2 cup of the chopped onion and cook, breaking up the meat until browned. Drain any excess grease from the pan and add the spaghetti sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, and pepper. Stir until combined, then set aside.
• Whisk together the two eggs, melted butter, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl and then add the cooked spaghetti. Toss to coat.
• To assemble the baked spaghetti casserole, in a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1/2 of the cooked spaghetti noodles. Dollop spoonfuls of the cottage cheese and sour cream mixture over top and spread it into an even layer. Pour half of the spaghetti sauce and meat mixture over the top of the noodles and cottage cheese and spread it to the edges, then sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the whole thing. Repeat for a second layer with the remaining ingredients.
• Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until hot in the center and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove foil and allow the casserole to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
• If making this casserole as a freezer meal, prepare to the point of baking it in the oven, then wrap tightly in foil and freeze. Defrost completely in the refrigerator when ready to cook, then bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes, until hot through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

BAKED SPAGHETTI (CHEESY & SPICY)

Steps:

• Saute onion, peppers and garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until tender.
• Add tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, hamburger meat, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• Place 1/2 of the spaghetti in a greased 13x9x3 inch dish.
• Top with half the meat sauce mixture.
• Sprinkle with 2 cups of Fiesta Blend Cheese.
• Repeat layers.
• After second layer of cheddar cheese, sprinkle all the parmesan cheese on top.
• Mix soup with water and pour over casserole. I used my finger to spread evenly so not to disturbe the cheese.
• Sprinkle with paprika to garnish.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.
• NOTE: I believe because of all the cheese in this recipe, there is extra liquid/water after the spaghetti is cut and allowed to sit. Don't worry about it. When the remaining dish is stored, just drain off extra liquid. It does not affect the taste of the recipe.

Remove from heat; beat in Parmesan cheese and spinach with whisk, then beat in eggs.
• Toss cheese sauce with hot spaghetti, and add half of the mixture to the baking dish.
