Baked Spaghetti

Baked Spaghetti (variation of the famous Paula Dean’s recipe)

According to Hubby this is amazing and if he could he'd eat the entire pan, so this is something that needs to be rotated into our dinner menu more often.  Lovey enjoyed it and asked if she could eat leftovers for lunch tomorrow :) 

 

I hate having black plates, when I try to wipe the smudges off it just looks worse

Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground beef

1/2 lb Italian sausage

3/4 lb spaghetti, cooked and drained

1 jar of favorite red sauce or 2 cups of homemade sauce

2 cups Mozzarella, shredded

Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

In a large pan cook meat.

When meat is cooked add sauce.

Toss the cooked noodles in the sauce and meat mixture.

Spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

I normally use a glass casserole dish but couldn't find mine for some reason...

Pour in half the noodle-meat mixture into the dish.

Add 1 cup of Mozzarella

Add other half of noodle-meat mixture

Top with rest of cheese.

It's never exactly half of the mixture or cheese but it doesn't matter

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted
