I have to admit, for as intriguing as this baked million dollar spaghetti casserole recipe sounded I didn’t dare to make it. After all, it calls for five kinds of cheese, a pound of ground beef, sour cream and butter! My version is still pretty fattening and it wont be a recipe that I make often.

I have included a ground beef option in the recipe even though I made my version without it, which works for vegetarians or for anyone that likes to have meatless meals once or twice a week such as “meatless Monday”. …
