Creamy Baked Million Dollar Chicken Spaghetti
This isn’t your everyday run of the mill pasta dish! We add this to our meal plan rotation at least every other week. It’s made with ingredients we almost always have on hand. I’m so happy my family loves this simple Cheesy Baked Spaghetti Casserole!
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. of Cooked Spaghetti Noodles
- 8 Tbls. Butter
- 2 24 oz cans/jars Spaghetti Sauce or Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
- 3 Cups of Cooked Chicken
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
- 8 oz Cream Cheese ~ you can use Neufchatel
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
Step by Step Instructions:
Boil your Spaghetti until it is Al Dente’, That means it is a little firm but cooked.
How do you know when pasta is al dente?
While noodles are cooking you can do these four easy steps for your creamy chicken spaghetti:
- Cream sauce: Mix together Sour Cream, Cream Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Onion Powder and Garlic Powder.
- Chop up your Chicken if you have not already done this.
- Add 2 Tablespoons to you 9×13 baking dish and put into the oven. Let the butter melt. Then remove.
- Set aside until noodles are ready
Pour HALF of the Spaghetti noodles into the casserole dish.
Top your Spaghetti noodles with the Cheesy Cream Sauce.
Add Chicken
Then top with remaining butter
Now add 4 1/2 cups of your favorite Spaghetti Sauce. You can use canned or Homemade Spaghetti Sauce. I usually use store bought sauce these days. The Spaghetti Sauces they make these days are just about as good as homemade in my opinion….just about.
Top with the Cheddar Cheese. You can really use any kind of cheese you like. Mozzarella, Mexican Blend…anything! I happened to have Mexican Blend on hand when I made it this day.
Can you Freeze Million Dollar Spaghetti?
Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 min.
Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Oh my! This is one of our faves for easy, cheap and quick and you’ll see why when you make it!
