• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

1. 1. Cook the Pasta:
      Boil spaghetti in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

   2. Brown the Beef:

   3. Add Mushrooms:

   4. Make the Creamy Sauce:
      Lower the heat and stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until combined and creamy. 

Assemble the Casserole:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the creamy beef and mushroom sauce. Mix well.

1. Layer and Bake:
   Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top evenly with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
