    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the pack.
  2. In a pan, fry the minced beef. Break the pieces with a spatula to ensure a more thorough and even cooking.
  3. Add the garlic salt, dried herbs, spaghetti sauce, and sour cream to the pan.
  4. Add half the mozzarella cheese and the cooked spaghetti to the beef and stir.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a heat-resistant pot or baking dish. Add the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top of the spaghetti and beef.
  6. Bake in the oven at at 375° F for 30 minutes.
  7. Take the dish out of the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Let It Rest: After it’s done baking, let the casserole rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This extra step allows the dish to settle, making it easier to serve.
  • Flavor The Pasta: After cooking, you can add some olive oil, salt, or even a sprinkle of garlic salt or dried herbs to the spaghetti to give it flavor.
  • Deeper Is Better: Use a deep casserole dish for baking the pasta to prevent any overflow or spills in the oven.
  • Grate Going: If possible, use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-shredded ones as they give better flavor.
