Just like mom made! Here were my adjustments: one pound of hamburger instead of two (plenty), no onions (preference), no Parmesan cheese (bummer) and I make my own spaghetti sauce so I think that's why my dish wasn't bland as some others were saying. (My suggestion would be to add Italian seasoning and some garlic powder/salt) Also I didn't bake it in the oven, I just poured it all into my pot and heated it up in there. That's not going to change the flavor I don't think, it's just one less dish to clean and because yes, that's how my mom did it ;)

My family loved this recipe. It was even better the next day! The only thing I changed is that I used 1 lb of hamburger and 1 lb of sweet Italian sausage. I'll definitely make this again.
09/24/2012
Excellent, didn't change a thing and it was very good, will save this one.
05/11/2009
good. I made it with shredded chicken and added dry ranch dressing mix to the sour cream before adding it to the other ingredients. I also took the above advice and cut the recipe in half. I would definitely make this again. Nice to have a change from traditional Spaghetti and sauce.

It's easy, it makes a lot, and it freezes well. I make the whole recipe and either divide it into 2 9x11 casseroles, or 4 8x8. I then freeze some to give to friends or have on hand for later!

Hmmm...not a whole lot of flavor, but very easy. I cut the recipe in half and still managed to fill a 9 x 13 pan, perhaps my pan isn't deep enough. I added some oregano, basil, and chopped fresh tomato when cooking off the beef & onion, and used whole wheat spaghetti, but even that didn't add enough interest for us to the overall taste. Don't know what else to add...maybe some garlic, different cheeses...? It did hold together nicely when serving, and my two-year old wanted seconds, so this gets 3 stars instead of just 2.

It was so good! Altho, I halved the recipe in half, and only did 3/4 cup sour cream. It was really good, I served it with bread and butter.
01/30/2010
This was good. My son said he liked it better than regular spaghetti. Its really rich. I cut the recipe in half (we are a family of 6) and still had leftovers. I would make again.
07/06/2009
I wouldn't call this the Best casserole but I'll make it again simply because my 5 yr old, 4 yr old, and 22 month old all gobbled it up. They really liked it. It was okay in my opinion. I did half the sauce like others suggested and I'm glad that I did because it fit perfectly in my 9 x 13 dish. If you're looking for something a little different, give the recipe a try.

I added a couple cloves of minced garlic, used a whole onion and only needed one jar of spaghetti sauce. I added some basil and oregano and a glug of red wine to the sauce. We liked this, but we liked another baked spaghetti recipe that used cottage cheese a little better. This was a nice base recipe for a hearty dinner that fed my three men well, with two extra lunches during the week for my husband.

This was wonderful! I browned my ground beef, till it carmelized, then added an onion, a large bell pepper and mushrooms. I used Paul Newmans sauce...YUCK!! it was pretty bad...so off I went to the spice cabinet trying to doctor it up..italian seasoning,garlic powder and sugar..it was so bitter. I also added some roasted garlic that I did this morning and gave it a taste, pretty good. I cooked it on the stove top for several hours, it got nice and thick. Then I added the sour cream and proceded with the recipe. DELICIOUS!!! I used my LARGE glass casserole dish,I don't think it would have fit in a 9x13.So we have supper for the next couple of nights. Thanks for sharing.
03/25/2012
My family liked this. I used only one can of sauce but I added a small can of tomato sauce and some seasonings. And I think I cooked my noodles a little too long. I will make this again.
03/11/2013
Easy and a keeper.
04/18/2011
I will never make this recipe again,as much as i added seasonings to make it flavorful..the sour cream just wouldn't allow it! I will stick to regular spaghetti!
10/24/2010
Simple and very good.
12/20/2009
Not what I expected. I guess I should've cut the liquids by half. I used extra garlic, and spices. But it had a bitter osur cream taste. I don't care for it. I should've just made regular spaghetti. It would've been faster,and tasted better.
10/10/2014
Great recipe to take to a family after a bro, death, etc. However, I add extra spices when making for my family to jazz it up a bit.
09/11/2012
This was awesome!!! My kids loves it :)
08/05/2015
This was very good! Some reviewers said it was too bland, so I added some garlic powder and oregano to the beef and onions while browning (but I do that for most italian dishes anyway). Other than that, I made the recipe as written. I split it into two 9x13 casserole dishes (gave one to a family friend) and just one of them was more than enough for my family of 4 with plenty of leftovers. My toddlers both loved it! I think this would be a great option for a big potluck or church function. You could probably fit it all into a big disposable foil lasagna pan (the 9x13 ones are deeper than your average 9x13 pyrex). We will definitely be making this recipe again.
03/06/2018
I was worried about adding sour cream but did it anyway. It was delish! (I did not use fat free sour cream either). I also added 4 oz of cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded parmesan, and 1/4 cup of cubed butter to the hot pasta before combining it with the meat mixture which was 50/50 ground beef and ground Italian sausage.
07/11/2012
An easy dinner. My husband loved it, my teenager said it was 'OK' which is high praise as he is a picky eater. As suggested by other reviewers, I added Italian seasoning and used a higher end pasta sauce (Gina Rispoli, Vodka flavor). I would make it again.
10/15/2010
This recipe was wonderful! My whole family loved it! It was easy and fast!
04/04/2013
Made this recipe instead of regular spaghetti. It was a big hit. Easy and delicious. I halved recipe and added a little more cheese. I didn't have sour cream so I used a little cream cheese instead and it worked fine. My son ate the left overs.... which he normally won't touch. Great recipe that may just replace spaghetti in this? house! Fyi...when I served it next day I sprinkled a little fresh parmesan cheese over it and microwaved! Yum!
01/31/2013
This was so good. I will forever make my spaghetti this way.
10/02/2015
My hubby and I liked this and my picky son absolutely loved it, came back for thirds when he never even does seconds! My changes were minimal and based on what I had on hand, I topped it with fresh mozzarella (yumm) and halved the sour cream in which I had the full fat on hand. I also layered it instead of mixing it all together (sauce, noodles, cheese, repeat, end with sauce, topped with mozz). In the end it was too much to fit into my 9x13 so I mixed what was left and also made an 8x8. Both were very good.
08/13/2015
I really enjoyed this dish. Sour cream added a bit of tang. I added a little garlic salt,pepper and crushed red pepper. I also cut the recipe and half, enough for 2 people plus leftovers.
08/19/2015
this recipe does make a lot. (Yeah to leftovers) Just made it and it was delish. I used two different flavors (jars) of spaghetti sauce. Had no issues with lack of flavor!
09/27/2015
spice up ground beef with italian seasoning
11/06/2016
The sour cream overwhelmed the flavor of the spaghetti sauce. I added more spaghetti sauce to compensate resulting in a looser texture. I also added oregano, salt and a bit of sugar. My family liked it and cleaned their plates, but I didn't like it at all and won't be making it again.
12/28/2014
Easy and everyone loves this!
10/01/2012
Wonderful!!! Tastes great and perfect for a busy family. My kiddo's loved it!
03/18/2016
This is bland - I was in a hurry and I would add more herbs, some cayenne, etc to it in the future. Heed those who point out the HUGE amount the recipe creates; I used what I would normally use to make spaghetti at home, and it would have filled a 9x13 and a 9x9. My son and my BF and his dad LOVED this. They ate huge amounts. So I will make it again, but for a 9x13, I'd make half the box of farfalle to mix with 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage), one jar Newman's Sock-A-Rooni, 8 oz sour cream, and about a cup of parmesan, 1-2 C mozzarella. I added herbs, but I'd add wine and cayenne and/or red pepper flakes next time.
01/10/2015
Super easy & quick!! Perfect for a mother of 3 (teen, tween & infant) Thank you!!
01/18/2017
Next time I will try using 1 can of pasta sauce and one can of diced tomatoes and a little less cheese. Good weeknight meal during the winter months.
08/13/2009
pretty good, but not any better than regular spagetti and not as easy to make. If I put in the extra effort I want it to taste better than the original
07/23/2014
Delicious! Seasoning the meat and using flavorful jarred pasta sauce made this have quite enough flavor. Love that it is a crowd pleaser and can be made easily to feed large groups as well!
07/22/2015
Im only 15 and I cooked this for my mom and dad and look exactly like yours but tasted amazing thanks for the recipe.
10/19/2018
Added sausage
09/03/2012
needs more sauce
10/13/2016
Total winner! Husband and toddler loved it. My modifications: made it with ground turkey instead of beef. And I seasoned the turkey with salt, pepper, crushed red pepper and garlic powder. Also, I used minced onions by McCormick. I drained the spaghetti and then put it back in its pot where I combined everything. This makes A LOT and it would have been too much to combine everything in the skillet I browned the meat in. I totally overlooked the bit about covering with foil to bake. But I'm glad I did because it allowed the top to crisp up a little, which we all really liked. This is going in the meal rotation!
04/20/2013
This was a big hit tonight! I added some minced garlic, oregano, and chopped meatballs to the hamburg/onions and only used one jar of marinara sauce. It was delicious. I will definitely be making this again. This would be great to take to a potluck,sick neighbor, etc.
10/29/2016
Awesome! Made a half size with leftovers. Excellent!!!
01/17/2014
I made this tonight, while very good I agree with at least one other who said it was bland...IMO, just a little tho....my husband said he added a little red pepper and told me it was excellent, so all said I would say try it...I will make it again and just add a little heat! Thanks for the recipe!
06/18/2018
My husband & I liked it. My 2 year old loved it! I only made half the recipe. I also added a little garlic salt. Will make again!
01/26/2019
Next time I will cut back on the cheese just a little. Other than that I will definitely make this again.
09/14/2017
I loved this casserole. I had some leftovers and it got even better the second time around.
11/09/2018
Made it the same as recipe except I added a teaspoon of Italian spice and 1/2 teaspoon of chilli peppers for a bit of a bite. Everyone loved it !!! Will definitely be making this again.
04/29/2016
This was great to use up leftover noodles and sauce. I used cheddar/jack shredded cheese and Italian seasoning as well as dehydrated onions. I did not add meat since we had some meatballs in the sauce. I also put in less cheese than called for and put pepperoni splices on top. My whole family loved it!!!
11/10/2019
I added a mix of mozzarella and cheddar. I also added more vegetables (bell peppers and mushrooms) and chopped pecans on top for a little crunch. The only thing I will omit next time is the sour cream, it gave it more of a taco taste rather than spaghetti. It makes a lot!! So if you're feeding less than 4 people, I would half the meat and sauce.
01/30/2022
I added chopped green peppers and garlic. On the top I cut frozen Italian meatballs in half
02/01/2015
I substituted whole wheat macaroni elbows for the pasta because that is what I had and 1 pound of ground beef instead of 2. I will try it next time with the spaghetti but will continue to use only 1 pound of the beef. Worked out great! My family liked it.
04/21/2021
This was very good! I had to make a few changes due to what I had on hand. Instead of spaghetti, I used a 16oz box of Rigatoni, only 1 jar of sauce and 8oz sour cream. Turned out perfect!
06/16/2015
I made few changes used alfrado sauce ground turkey red sauceon side
10/01/2019
It was good. Quick and easy. Sour cream was good. Also tried cream cheese and that was good to.
01/02/2013
This is really good and very easy. My go-to meal is usually spaghetti, and I was so happy to have found this recipe because its a great change of pace but still a home run. The only thing I changed was that I used shells instead of spaghetti noodles (it's all I had!) but I'm really glad I did, because scooping and serving was easy.
10/25/2017
AHHHHMAZZZING!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Want to add though it states towards the top of the recipie where it has the prep and directions and instructions a Cook time of 55 Minutes! It's not 55 minutes. as you look down further in the directions towards the middle or bottom it says 30 minutes! O also put my own twist on it! rather than putting and making a spaghetti mixture. I put the sauce, meat, sour cream etc. into its own mixture. And then I did a sauce layer, noodles, cheese and layered it like lasagna. It turned out great!
05/20/2020
My family and I did not like this.
08/01/2013
I just finished making this, but I sauteed one bell pepper, half onion and added 1 pack of lipton onion soup mix along with garlic powder, shredded mild cheddar and my own seasonings. It was pretty good, still a little bland, but I'd make it again because my kiddo's loved it! So, thanks !
09/06/2018
I've made it twice and the second time I only added half the sour cream and we all like it better
06/02/2018
I used 1 bottle of spicy Italian sauce and one 4 cheese flavored and only used 1 lb. of ground beef. It was delicious. It made enough for two casseroles, so I threw one in the freezer for a quick weeknight meal. It's a keeper.
04/24/2018
This was really good! I used one pound of ground beef and half a pound of mild ground sausage. Next time I will use more sauce but this is a keeper!
03/12/2018
This is a good and easy recipe. I cut this recipe in half to make. I almost gave it 4 stars only because I did find it better to add one 8 oz. can of tomato sauce - otherwise, was a tad dry out of the oven. But, giving it a 5-star because to me the sour cream addition really gives it a great taste! Would make this again!
06/27/2020
This is becoming a family favorite. It's forgiving if we are lacking a little bit of one ingredient, and it is delicious as leftovers, too.
08/09/2018
Delicious! We subbed plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream and you would have never known. So good! Second time, I made this with dairy free yogurt and mozzarella cheese and it was even more awesome!
12/30/2015
Put lots of spices such as used in spaghetti. Recipe made entirely too much sauce so I reduced the meat to 1 lb. wasn't too impressed with this recipe since it was basically spaghetti.
07/21/2018
I halved the recipe as some others did. I also added chopped zuchini and some additional Italian seasoning to the sauce. Came out perfectly. I will definitely make this one again.
02/10/2020
I followed the advice of others and divided in half (except for cheese and spaghetti). I altered this recipe by whisking together two eggs and 1 cup of whole milk and stirring the mixture into the cooked spaghetti. Then, I added the ground beef mixture from this recipe into the spaghetti mixture I concocted. I mixed eveything thoroughly, and poured into the prepared casserole dish. DELICIOUS!
07/31/2020
This was good. I did make a couple changes. 1. I added fresh minced garlic and fresh tomatoes to my meat. 2. I added meatballs 3.I added asiago and pecorino cheese 4. I added mushrooms I also like my cheese a little crisp so after baking I used my broiler on low to crisp the cheese a bit. I had nothing left of this meal.
12/04/2012
Easy and delicious :-) served with garlic bread :-)
08/10/2017
Great turn out!
01/04/2017
I used chicken breasts and grilled them w/ Italian seasoning and garlic... then chopped it up and added instead of beef. Covered on 375 for about 20 mins then took off cover sprinkled some fresh basil on top and then cooked for about another 10 mins (uncovered) to make a crust on top. Very tasty. Great dish for week night cooking for the whole family to enjoy.
05/17/2022
I made a low-carb version of this using ZOODLES and it was very delicious! The sour cream really adds a nice creaminess to the dish. Yum!
12/07/2020
I made this for my family and they loved it. I added some garlic and Italian seasoning.
04/05/2017
My whole family enjoyed this. I used Italian sausage instead of hamburger (I always do) and it was delicious. I would rather use one pound next time, not two. Will definitely make again!!!
11/03/2018
It was awesome!! I added canned whole corn in it. My very picky love it!!
03/11/2014
Just the wife and I at home now so I cut the recipe in half like some others suggested, and it still almost filled our cooking dish to the top. It really turned out awesome considering I am a total rookie in the kitchen. I used sweet Italian sausage(wife's favorite)in place of ground meat. My wife and I loved it. The only thing would do different next time is go with heavier portion of meat; otherwise the best spaghetti dish I have ever fixed.
10/18/2017
This was a nice alternative to spaghetti and meatballs. I used 1 lb chopped meat and one pound Italian sausage, sautéed them with onion and 2 cloves garlic and added them to my own sauce (2 lg cans crushed tomatoes, oregano, parsley, basil, salt, pepper and a small bit of sugar) and let it simmer for a couple of hours. Otherwise followed recipe exactly and everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. I'm only giving 4 stars since I made some alterations to make it more flavorful - but with changes, definite five. Thanks!
09/10/2019
Great recipe. I used 1 lb of beef and 1 lb of deer. Instead of sour cream I used ricotta. I also added extra sauce (marinara). Great basic recipe with room to tweak.
12/22/2018
Excellent recipe for a quick meal that is flavorful and satisfying. Second time i made this i cut all measurements in half except cheeses. Still made more than enough for four adults.
01/23/2018
Very yummy! The whole family loved it. And it was quick and easy which means I loved it too ;) It will become a regular staple of our menu.
03/27/2016
I made this but I'd recommend adding a little more spice and I replaced the ground beef with Italian spice sausage.I found it to be a little plain.I added breadcrumbs and mozerella/Cheddar on top to give it a more "casserole" look :)
03/13/2018
Very tasty and easy. Love it
02/27/2018
Tasty, but too oily. Next time I will cut the butter waaay back.
06/03/2019
Great recipe - needs A LOT OF CHEESE. Needs more taste. But fairly ok
03/06/2019
Most excellent! Family favorite now. Didn't stray from the recipe, made it exactly how it is stated.
06/18/2019
Loved it - agree with another reviewer - 1 pound of meat is enough - added fresh garlic - used one jar puttanesca sauce (Black olives and capers) and one jar arabiatta (red pepper kick) - also used ground turkey which was fine - only had 12 ounces sour cream so substituted 4 ounces cream cheese - don't recommend - used Sargento aged and shaved parmesan - really good - used whole wheat pasta - was good
09/16/2014
This was easy and great tasting. I had to sub mayo for the sour cream (didn't have enough sour cream on hand and did not want to mix the two so I just used all mayo) no onion (taste), but everything else was added as directed. Will make this again and freeze half for later.
05/08/2018
Absolutely love it! Plenty of leftovers when feeding four and is an easy recipe to follow!!
03/17/2020
Vey Good Recipe, I Add Pepperoni And Cheddar Cheese. Delicious!
10/13/2018
I usually make the other baked spaghetti recipe which everyone loves. I hadn't made it in a while handmade this recipe in error. I didn't tell anyone. They loved it, although they did say it tasted different. I told them about the mixup. Some liked this better some liked the other but they all loved either. Made exactly as written.
10/10/2016
I prepared just like the directions however I added link sausage cut up
08/05/2015
so yummy! used ground turkey instead and we all love it
05/02/2018
I thought this was okay. If I were to make it again, I think I would use a different pasta....farfalle perhaps. I would also add in some red pepper flakes to give it a kick.
01/07/2020
I have made this numerous amount of times. However, I've used cream of mushroom soup instead of sour cream. I do use Italian seasoning. My family loves it.
07/30/2016
Awesome recipe????!!!!
01/14/2017
I used 1# of ground italian sausage, 8oz noodles, 23oz of jar sauce, 8oz of light sour cream and everything else the same. Still filled a 13×9" pan. Very creamy and deliscious. Heated up great for leftovers.
09/06/2016
This wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly good either. I omitted the meat and loaded the top with veggies (mushrooms, tomatoes and green olives). The sauce is ok, but fairly bland. If you want something similar but far tastier, try spaghetti pizza I.
07/11/2013
Awarded for 4 stars for inspiring my traditional spaghetti dish into a casserole of yum and then some! I omitted sour cream. Added more seasonings and produce to impart more flavor. My additions included: crushed garlic, scallions, sliced green and red peepers, a single stabbed scotch bonnet pepper (in homemade spaghetti sauce), oregano, basil, etc. I am big on flavor! Thanks for sharing.
09/06/2015
I enjoyed this recipe. I added a few more seasonings to the ground beef (garlic powder, oregano, basil, and parsley). I also also needed about half the sour cream noted in the recipe. Overall very delicious!
