Million dollar spaghetti is the perfect combination of noodles, lean ground beef sauce, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream. It's unbelievably good!
For a richer flavor, ensure the ground beef is well-browned and seasoned before adding the sauce. Consider elevating the store-bought spaghetti sauce with fresh herbs like basil and oregano, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a splash of red wine during simmering. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother, lump-free mixture. For the final cheese topping, freshly shredding sharp Cheddar will melt more evenly and provide superior flavor compared to pre-shredded. A mix of cheeses, like adding some mozzarella for stretch, could also enhance the dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color before serving.
