Introduction
An easy, simple, and delicious baked spaghetti recipe (also known as Million Dollar Spaghetti) featuring savory meats, a rich garlic and herb sauce, and a decadent, creamy cheese layer topped with melted mozzarella.
Step 1
Prep the vegetables: finely dice 1/4 of a white onion, 1/4 of a green bell pepper, chop 1-2 green onions, and mince 4 garlic cloves.
Step 2
Cook 1 lb of ground beef in a pot over high heat, breaking it up finely with a spatula. Strain and discard the excess fat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium, add 1 lb of mild Italian sausage, and cook until it is mostly browned and cooked through.
Step 4
Add the diced white onions and green bell peppers to the meat mixture. Cook until the onions become translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using high-quality Garlic & Herb pasta sauce and mild Italian sausage provides a rich flavor base without needing complex seasonings.
Be sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it blends smoothly without lumps.
Boil the spaghetti only to al dente because it will absorb moisture and continue to soften while baking in the oven.
Allowing the dish to rest for 10 to 15 minutes after baking makes it much easier to slice into clean, beautiful squares.
