Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole

“The perfect combination of pasta, ground beef, and cream cheese mixture. Unbelievably good! Serve with garlic bread and salad. Enjoy!”

Million Dollar Spaghetti is like the happy marriage of my favorite Spaghetti pie, to a classic lasagna. The noodles are layered with a cheesy filling in the middle, then a yummy meat sauce and cheese on top. YUM! Welcome to “Million Dollar Spaghetti,” the show where you compete to win a million dollars against a plate of spaghetti– oh, my producer is saying this isn’t a game show, it’s one of the most scrumptious pasta recipes!

Contrary to what the name might lead you to believe, it’s a super inexpensive meal to make, but it DOES taste like a million bucks 🙂  . Your family will LOVE you for this one! Baked Million Dollar Spaghetti is creamy with a melty cheese center, topped with meat sauce and extra bubbly cheese.
