Instructions
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
Boil your Spaghetti until it is Al Dente’. That means it is a little firm but cooked.
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 the rest of you Noodles
Top with the Chicken
Then add 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.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 min.
Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Notes
Hot meal planning tip! Make 2 casseroles. One with Red Spaghetti Sauce and one with Alfredo Sauce. Freeze one of them for later.
