Author Jayme

Ingredients

  • 16 oz thin spaghetti
  • 1 lb browned hamburger
  • 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup parmesan
  • 5 tbsp butter melted
  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cook spaghetti in a pretty big pot. Drain.
  • In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese and sour cream.
  • In another bowl, combine browned hamburger and spaghetti sauce.
  • In the empty spaghetti pot, melt the butter. Once melted, add the eggs and parmesan cheese and whisk together.
  • Add the noodles back in and mix together.

In a greased 9x13 dish, put in:

  • ½ the noodles, followed by
  • ½ the cottage cheese/sour cream mixture followed by
  • ½ the meat sauce, followed by
  • ½ the mozzarella cheese

Do those layers all over again:

  • The rest of the noodles, followed by
  • The rest of the cottage cheese/sour cream mixture followed by
  • The rest of the meat sauce, followed by
  • The rest of the mozzarella cheese
  • Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes (until cheese is bubbly).

Notes

You can freeze either baked or unbaked. I prefer unbaked. Either way, let cool, then wrap tightly in freezer-friendly container. I also wrap it again with foil and plastic wrap. To bake after freezing, defrost overnight or during the day and add at least 15 minutes of baking time.
