A Family Favorite – Baked Spaghetti {Recipe}

July 18, 2015 by Emilee Evans

Affiliate
Oh how our family loves spaghetti. Well, we love any pasta really – except for my husband who has a very limited list of foods he likes! One family favorite and a recipe I love to use when we have guests is baked spaghetti. It’s easy to prepare, and you can even use leftover spaghetti and turn it into a new dish!
Easy Baked Spaghetti Recipe
When I verbally share this recipe I usually say “make your spaghetti how you usually do” (or use leftover spaghetti) and then go into details about the baked part, but for the sake of a complete recipe, I will share how I make the spaghetti as well! Of course, you can definitely substitute what I use for your own favorites or make your own tomato sauce and shredded cheese!

Baked Spaghetti Recipe

Serves 5-9 people
Prep time: around 45 minutes

What you Will Need

16 oz Package of Ground Beef
1 Bottle of Tomato Sauce
1 Box (16 oz/1 lb) of Spaghetti Noodles
Garlic Salt (To Preferred Taste)
8oz Package of Cream Cheese
8oz of Shredded Cheese (I use a finely shredded blend)

What to Do

You will start with the first four ingredients to prepare your spaghetti
Easy Baked Spaghetti Ingredients

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees
  • Bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pan
  • Add a few sprinkles of garlic salt to the water
  • Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti carefully to the water and bring the water back to a boil
  • Stir pasta occasionally to avoid sticking
  • While pasta is boiling, prepare the ground beef in a 10 inch or bigger skillet
  • Sprinkle the ground beef with garlic salt and brown it in the skillet

Easy Baked Spaghetti Ground Beef and Noodles

  • Drain the spaghetti
  • Combine the cooked spaghetti, ground beef, and tomato sauce in a large pot
  • Mix Well

  • Pour the Spaghetti into a 9-by-13-Inch Rectangular Baking Dish

Next you will get out your last two ingredients: Cream Cheese and Shredded Cheese. If you’re preparing your own shredded cheese, be sure to grate it finely.
Easy Baked Spaghetti Cheese

  • Soften the Cream Cheese if necessary – it needs to be easily spreadable
  • Spread the Cream Cheese on the Spaghetti in the baking dish

Easy Baked Spaghetti Cream Cheese

  • Sprinkle the shredded (or grated) cheese on top of the spaghetti and cream cheese
  • Place the baking dish in the oven

Easy Baked Spaghetti in Oven

  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes (or until the cheese is melted)

Easy Baked Spaghetti
To serve, I cut it in squares like you would with a lasagna and serve with a large spoon or spatula. To use leftover spaghetti, simply add it to the pan (a smaller baking pan fitting for the amount you have left), add then follow the end of the recipe starting at the Cream Cheese. Enjoy!

    I’ve been told you don’t have to even prepare the spaghetti first. Just throw it all in layered and bake.

      Interesting. I haven’t tried that, but it doesn’t take long to prepare the spaghetti first, and I’m usually cooking the sides for our meal at the same time, so it kind of flows nicely this way.

    This baked spaghetti recipe looks so yummy. I can’t eat a lot of tomato sauce anymore so I can use less and more cheese. Thanks for sharing.

    I often have left over pasta that I end up tossing. This is a new recipe to me.It sounds interesting.

    • Emilee says

      June 22, 2016 at 10:30 pm

      It is so perfect for the extra pasta! When I make just regular spaghetti I always seem to make way too much, so it comes in handy for reusing it but adding a spin to it.

    We love spaghetti. I’m wondering how it will be with cream cheese in it? I just may have to make it to find out.

    • Emilee says

      June 22, 2016 at 10:29 pm

      Surprisingly, I’m not a huge cream cheese lover. I don’t dislike it, but it’s generally not on my list of ingredients I tend to use. It really adds something to this recipe, though, and I’ve made it that way ever since!

    this looks delicious. i wonder how it would turn out if we used zucchini pasta or a spaghetti squash

      I actually just got some spaghetti squash from our garden and was planning on trying it!
