How to Make Million Dollar Spaghetti Recipe
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef and Italian sausage with the onions and garlic until fully cooked, about 4 minutes. Season with ½ tsp salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Pour in the marinara sauce (except for ½ cup that will be used later), and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
3. While the marinara sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti until al dente in a large pot of boiling salted water and preheat the oven to 350 F.
4. Make the cheese sauce by combining the softened cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sour cream, ½ tsp salt, and dried parsley flakes in a small bowl.
5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked and drained spaghetti with the reserved ½ cup marinara sauce and butter.
6. Layer the dish: spray the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spoon in half of the spaghetti. Smooth the cheese mixture over the spaghetti. Add the remaining spaghetti over the cheese sauce, pour the meat sauce on top of the spaghetti and sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses evenly on top.
