“Layers are born in patience—never rush the stack.”
Grease dish with butter (not oil—oil burns).
Bottom layer: ½ spaghetti → press gently (not packed—creates air pockets).
Middle layer: cream cheese mixture (cream cheese + sour cream + cottage cheese stirred cold).
Top layer: Remaining spaghetti → dot with butter → sauce + beef → cheddar.
Critical: Do not overfill—this is non-negotiable (needs room for bubbling).
4. Bake with Precision (The Offering)
“A jiggle is a promise—no jiggle is a sin.”
Bake at 175°C for 30 mins on lowest rack (not middle—top burns cheese).
Add cheddar → bake 15 mins more until bubbling at edges (not liquid center—underbaked).
Rest 15 mins off heat (steam = soggy crust; patience = crackly top). Critical: Never skip this!
