Spaghetti Pie Casserole
My family adores this spaghetti casserole. It's old-timey comfort food. This is how to make baked spaghetti with cream cheese. —Patricia Lavell, Islamorada, Florida

Response to Taylor on August 14, 2019. If meat is murder, then that "murdered" cattle was super delicious! Yum! Get over yourself you weirdo!
Just a thought, but I would prefer the meat sauce and spaghetti be combined. First layer noodles and meat sauce, then layer sour cream and cream cheese, then another layer of noodles and meat sauce then finally top with a blend of shredded mozzarella and cheddar or shredded cheese of your choice. Garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and some snipped chives or minced parsley.
Pretty good. I added extra seasoning (fresh basil and oregano).
Meat is murder
This recipe is just "okay" It isn't something I'd make again. Like others, I felt there was way too much pasta and what I made did not fit in the designated pan size. I hate to say this, but this is one casserole that no one looked forward to having leftovers to take to lunch.
As written this is a 3 star recipe. The proportion is totally off. Too much pasta and too little cream cheese/sour cream sauce. I halved the pasta and doubled the cream cheese mixture and it was pretty good. The totally dry layer of pasta is a bit odd, but if you double the sauce mixture, it provides a coating for the noodles.
So incredibly delicious, I would almost bathe in it. I wouldn't though, because it is all already eaten.
This was very good, reminds you of lasagna. I used plain yogurt and mozzarella cheese because that’s what I had in the fridge. I also mixed an egg in with the cream cheese and yogurt and sprinkled some parmesan cheese in. I combined all that and then mixed it right in with the cooked spaghetti before I put it into the baking dish. It worked well. It also froze and reheated well. I will be making this again.
We liked it,but it lacked sauce all the way through so next time I wi l mix the spaghetti and sauce then proceed!
My cream cheese and sour cream mixture curdled while cooking. Why?? It tastes good still...
